So tempted to try coz' the cake was so beautiful.
Recipe goes this way:
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons finely chopped or grated orange zest (I use a vegetable peeler & a sharp knife)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional syrup:
1/3 cup orange juice (strained if freshly squeezed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place butter and sugar in a large bowl and use an electric mixer (I use a hand held mixer) to cream until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Add eggs, vanilla, yogurt, orange juice, and orange zest and beat 1 minute.
4. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
5. Pour batter into a greased 9" x 5" loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Ovens vary, so start checking for doneness after about 45 minutes. Let cool on wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes and then carefully remove cake from pan.
6. If desired, combine orange juice and sugar and stir until sugar dissolves, then spoon or brush over cake. Slice and serve (preferably the next day if you can wait that long) plain or piled high with fresh strawberries and whipped cream or ice cream—or both! Cake will keep at room temperature for 3 days or can be frozen.
As for myself, I made them into muffins and alter the recipe just a little.
See my recipe below:
185g butter, softened
155g caster sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
115g plain yogurt
115g orange juice
2 Tablespoons finely chopped or grated orange zest
280g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Method same as above.... ta da... my final muffins:
This is a wonderful recipe. Really very nice and fragrant muffins. Will make them in my next charity bake.
