Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, fresh orange juice, orange zest, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
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 8
If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
