Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, fresh orange juice, orange zest, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
