Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, plain yogurt, vegetable oil, orange juice, and orange zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create a flavorful base.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth without overmixing to keep the cake tender.
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease your baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake the Cake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure clean cuts and proper texture. Serve as a delicious snack or dessert.
Notes
- Add a light orange glaze on top for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt for a thicker, creamier texture.
- Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
