PREP TIME BAKE TIME 10 minutes TOTAL TIME
15 minutes 55 minutes 1 hour 20 minutes
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 1/8 c (250g) sugar
1 3/4 c (275g) all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder (or 1 packet Italian Pane Degli Angeli vanilla baking powder)
1/3 c (100g) butter, softened
1/3 c (100g) plain Greek yogurt
1 large organic orange, about (300g), washed and cut into pieces (with the rind, but
remove the seeds)
(if using plain baking powder add 1 tsp vanilla extract)
Glaze
juice of one organic orange
1/3 c (100g) sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Make the whole orange cake
1. Prepare an 8" springform pan by spraying with oil (or butter) and lining in
parchment paper (sides optional, if you want really clean sides), then spray the
paper, too.
2. Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.
3. Sift the flour with the baking powder or Paneangeli then add to the mixture in the
bowl a little at a time along with the softened butter. Continue to mix until
completely blended, then stir in the yogurt.
4. In a food processor, process the whole orange until it is almost pureed.
5. Add this orange to the cake mixture (along with the vanilla if you used plain baking
powder) and stir until evenly combined, then put the batter into the prepared tin.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes (depending on your oven), but test with a cake tester or
skewer to make sure the orange cake is done before removing from the oven. Allow
to cool for about 15 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan.
Make the orange glaze
1. Prepare the glaze by melting the sugar in the orange juice and allow to simmer
for a few minutes, just until the liquid has a syrupy consistency.
2. Spoon and brush over the top of the cake and allow to cool completely before
cutting.
Notes
Yes, it's hard to wait, but the moist orange cake will cut more easily if it's cool first.
