Ingredients
- 190 g plain Greek yogurt (at room temp.) about ⅔ cup
- 150 g fine sugar ⅔ cup
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 4 tbsps freshly squeezed orange juice 3+1 tbsps
- 2 grated orange zest of 2 oranges
- 80 g vegetable oil about ⅓ cup + 1 tsp
- 190 g plain flour about 1½ cups + 4 tsps
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1¼ tsps baking powder
Makes: 7inch round
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F (you may add a tray of water to increase the humidity).
- Combine yogurt, 3 tablespoons of orange juice, grated orange zest, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl, and whisk until sugar has dissolved. Add in vegetable oil, and mix until combined.
- Combine and sift together plain flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Sift again the flour mixture into wet ingredients in 3 batches, and mix until the batter is smooth. If the batter is slightly thick, add in an extra ½ to 1 tablespoon of orange juice until the batter reaches the consistency as shown in the video.
- Pour the batter into a 7″ (18-cm) round mold (greased and lined with parchment paper), smooth the surface with a spatula, then tap the cake pan on the countertop a few times to burst large bubbles.
- Bake at 160°C/320°F for 40 minutes, then increase to 180°C/355°F and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until fully cooked (the cake is done when the wooden stick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean). (Reminder: The heat for different ovens is different, the suggested time is only for reference, adjust the baking time base on your oven if necessary.)
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then unmould and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes
Reminder: Wash the skin of oranges thoroughly before grating the zest. Mix 1 part of distilled vinegar and 3 parts of water in a plastic basin, and soak the oranges for 20 minutes. Gently brush using a clean fishnet washer or dishwasher brush, then rinse thoroughly with running water.
This recipe yields a 7-inch round cake divided into 12 slices.
