Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 oranges, zested and juiced
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup plain yogurt
• 0.375 cup vegetable oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, sugar and eggs. Stir in yogurt and orange zest. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the mixture just until blended. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch baking pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Poke holes in the cake with a knife, and pour the juice from the oranges over the cake slowly until it has all been absorbed.
