Recipe for the Seven-jar Cake with Orange and Cinnamon
Start preparing the seven-jar cake with orange and cinnamon by transferring the yogurt into a small bowl and washing the jar well, which will be our unit of measure.
Break 3 medium-sized eggs into a bowl and add two jars of yogurt.
Whip the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until they double in volume.
Continue mixing with the mixer as you pour the oil in a thin stream: you can use seed oil or a delicately flavored extra virgin olive oil.
Next, add the zest of an untreated orange and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture.
Add the yogurt: I used plain, but orange or vanilla-flavored yogurt is also suitable.
Now it’s time for the dry ingredients. Sift directly into the bowl a packet of baking powder and 3 jars of all-purpose flour.
Mix well with a spatula until you get a homogeneous and smooth batter.
Transfer the cake batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9-inch round cake pan.
Bake the seven-jar cake with orange and cinnamon in a preheated static oven at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes.
Perform the toothpick test before removing it from the oven.
Let it cool slightly and remove from the pan.
