Orange and Yogurt Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• ¾ cup sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup yogurt

• ½ cup oil (I use canola but use anything you like – or melted butter!)

• Zest of 4 oranges

• 2 cups self raising flour (or you can use 2 cups regular flour and 2 tsp baking powder)

• A pinch of salt

For the syrup:

Juice of 4 oranges

1 tbsp sugar

Method: 

1. Whisk together sugar, eggs, yogurt, oil and orange zest until combined. Add the flour and salt and stir until just combined.  

2. Pour into a greased and lined cake pan (you can use a loaf pan or a 21cm cake pan or ring tin!) and bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 35-45 minutes).

3. Meanwhile make the syrup by heating the orange juice and sugar and the sugar has dissolved.

4. When the cake come out of the oven, poke lots of holes with a skewer and pour over the syrup. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before unmolding.

For the optional yogurt cream:

• ½ cup cream

• 2 tbsp yogurt

• Vanilla paste, optional

1. Whip together all the ingredients.
