Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) oil (vegetable, canola, or sunflower)
  • 1 cup (240g) plain yogurt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon (30ml) fresh orange juice
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp orange extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan, line it with the parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together oil, yogurt, and sugar until well combined and smooth. Add orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and orange extract; mix well.
  • Now add dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into the cake pan and bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and place the cake pan on the cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely in the cake pan before removing it.

Serving Suggestions

  • Orange Yogurt Cake is very flavorful, and there is no need for frosting the cake with any frosting.
  • However, I love to top the cake with a light and mildly sweet whipped cream. It makes the cake absolutely decadent.
  • But you can ice the cake with your preferred frosting.
  • Dust the cake with some icing sugar, slice, and serve to keep it simple.
  • Serve the cake slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. 
  • You can also cut the cake into two horizontal layers and fill the frosting in between the cake layers.

Storing and Freezing

  • Store the cake at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. But if you top the cake with whipped cream or any other frosting, refrigerate the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cake for up to 5 days. If the cake is refrigerated, bring it to room temperature before serving.
  • If you want to freeze it, let it cool completely. Wrap the cake tightly with freezer-safe plastic wrap or place it in the freezer bag. Freeze the cake for up to a month. Then thaw the cake completely before serving and frosting.

Notes

  1. Measurements: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients.
  2. Yogurt: I would recommend using full-fat or whole milk yogurt, and it should be at room temperature.
  3. Oil: Oil makes the cake light, but you can replace the oil with melted butter for the buttery cake.
  4. Mixing The Batter: Do not overmix the batter to get the soft and tender cake.
    You can frost the cake with your favorite icing.
  5. Frosting: You can frost the cake with whipped cream or buttercream. If you like, cut the cake in two horizontal layers and fill the icing in between the cake layers.
