Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an 8X11 oven-proof casserole dish with vegetable spray. Set aside.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
Mix feta cheese, fresh parsley, olives, and scallions in a bowl. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, whole milk, yogurt, and olive oil in a bowl. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture (we’ll use this to glaze the top of the cake later.).
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined.
Fold in the feta cheese mixture while making sure that it is equally distributed within the dough.
Transfer the mixture into the casserole dish. Equally spread the reserved 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture on top. Sprinkle it with sesame seeds.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated 350 degrees oven. And then turn down the heat to 325 degrees and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with no crumbs.
Allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
