Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs large
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Orange Juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp Orange Zest finely grated
Finishing
- Powdered Sugar Sugar for dusting, powdered
- Optional Orange Zest for garnish
- Butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
Prepare the Baking Pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Decorate
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar and garnish with extra orange zest, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Orange Yogurt Cake
- For an extra intense orange flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest from organic oranges.
- Don't overmix the batter! Overmixing can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
- Check the cake for doneness around the 30-minute mark. Ovens vary, so it might take a little less or a little more time.
- For a beautiful presentation, consider using a piping bag to create a decorative dusting of powdered sugar.
