Description
A moist and tender French yogurt cake infused with fresh orange zest and juice, perfect for a light dessert or snack.
Ingredients
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 large orange)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, granulated sugar, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Add the vegetable oil, orange zest, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
