Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Plain yogurt
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 3 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 Kiwi (peeled and diced)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Stir in the orange zest and orange juice, ensuring the mixture is well blended.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced kiwi pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired and serve.
