Notes from Rouba

  • Everyone’s oven is different, and therefore the recommended baking time is just a guide. You will need to test your cake with a cake tester.
  • A cake tester can be anything from a wooden skewer to a toothpick. Insert it in the centre of the cake and then remove it. Your cake is ready if the skewer comes out clean. If any crumbs are attached to the skewer, place the cake back into the oven for several more minutes.

Method

Step 1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a round 20-cm springform cake tin.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and orange zest in a bowl and set aside.

Place the eggs, vanilla essence, and lemon zest in a large bowl and beat it with an electric mixer at a moderate speed, adding the sugar gradually until light and fluffy.

Step 2.

Reduce the speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and ½ a cup of orange juice, alternating between the two.

Step 3.

By hand, stir in the yogurt and oil and fold gently. Pour into the prepared cake tin. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until cooked through and your cake tester comes out clean (see notes above).

Step 4.

While the cake is still hot, create holes on the top using a skewer. Slowly pour over the remaining ½ cup of orange juice. Allow the cake to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar and garnish with extra orange zest.
