Ingredients

• 240 ml Plain yoghurt
• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 120 ml Vegetable oil
• 3 units Large eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 30 g Unsalted butter
• 100 g Orange marmalade
• 2 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23cm (9-inch) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

While the cake is baking, prepare the marmalade glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the orange marmalade and water, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 9

Once the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.

Step 10

While the cake is still warm, brush the marmalade glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set as the cake cools completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the cake as is, or optionally, with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
