Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer or by hand until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the Greek yogurt, orange zest, vanilla extract, and olive oil to the egg and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Cool:
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, you can optionally dust it with powdered sugar or glaze it with a mixture of powdered sugar and orange juice for added flavor.
- Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients.: Ingredients like eggs and yogurt blend more easily and evenly when they are at room temperature, ensuring a smoother batter and more consistent texture.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gently.: Over-mixing the batter can result in a dense cake. Gently folding in the flour mixture helps keep the cake light and airy.
- Zest the orange right before using.: Zesting the orange just before adding it to the batter ensures that you get the most flavor and aroma from the oils in the zest.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving.: Allowing the cake to cool helps set its structure, making it easier to cut and enhancing its flavor.
- Add a simple glaze for extra sweetness.: If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and orange juice over the cooled cake for a finishing touch.
With its moist texture and vibrant flavor, the Orange Yogurt Cake is sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire. Whether you serve it with a cup of tea or as a light after-dinner treat, this cake is a delightful end to any meal. Enjoy the delicious combination of Greek yogurt and orange zest, and don't forget to share this recipe with loved ones!
