Lightly coat a 9-inch (23-cm) cake pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and yogurt to the butter mixture and beat until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting with Chocolate Agave Frosting, if desired.
