How to Make the Orange Cake
To make this cake, choose an untreated orange to use both the juice and the grated zest. Wash the orange thoroughly, grate the zest, and squeeze it to get the juice.
Beat the whole eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer for 5-6 minutes until you have a light and frothy mixture.
Add the vegetable oil, orange zest, and juice. To make this cake, you need about 100-110 ml of orange juice, so if necessary, add another half an orange to reach the amount.
Add a jar of plain yogurt and mix.
Sift the flour and baking powder. Mix well. Pour the mixture into a 20 cm diameter cake pan greased or lined with baking paper. Bake the Orange Cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35-40 minutes.
Always do the “toothpick test” to check the baking inside the cake. Let the cake cool before transferring it to a serving plate and decorate it as you like with some powdered sugar.
See you tomorrow with a new recipe. Hugs, Loredana
