Yogurt Orange Cake With Olive Oil
Description
This cake mixes Greek strained yogurt with olive oil, eggs, and sugar for a batter that is both moist and rich without heaviness. Orange juice and zest provide fresh citrus notes that permeate the cake, while vanilla extract adds background sweetness. The self-raising flour gives lift and softness to the texture.
The method involves whisking wet ingredients first and then folding in the flour, followed by a resting period before baking at 180°C. Baking in a greased bundt pan creates a cake with even cooking and a pleasing shape. A toothpick test confirms doneness, ensuring the center is fully cooked without drying out.
Once baked and cooled, the cake is inverted onto a plate and dusted with icing sugar. It pairs well with tea or coffee and is suitable for a light dessert.
Ingredients
- 260 grams / 9.2 oz yogurt preferably Greek strained
- 3 egg
- 160 grams / 5.6 oz sugar
- 180 grams / 6.3 oz olive oil
- 320 grams/ 11.3 oz self-raising flour
- 1 orange juiced
- 2 orange zested
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- icing sugar for adding on top
Instructions
- Add the yogurt, eggs, and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Stir vigorously with a hand whisk for 2 minutes until everything combines well.
- Pour in the olive oil and whisk to combine.
- Then incorporate the flour in batches. Add the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir and then cover the bowl with a tea towel. Rest for 15 minutes while you preheat the oven at 180°C / 356°F.
- Grease a bundt cake pan with a bit of vegetable oil or cooking spray. Transfer the cake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spoon. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Or until when you prick the cake with a knife in the center, the knife comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool down a bit and then flip the pan over a serving plate. Sprinkle plenty of icing sugar on top and serve!
