Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 cup sugar
200g
3 eggs
150g
1 cup greek yogurt
240g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- 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.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- 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.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- 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.
5. Pour Batter into Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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!
