Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 125 grams Plain yogurt
- 120 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 100 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Whisk vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.
Add the plain yogurt, orange juice, orange zest, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or spoon until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Serve the Orange Yogurt Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
