Description
A soft, fragrant orange yogurt loaf cake that’s quick to mix and reliably bakes evenly in an electric fan oven. Measured with a yogurt pot, it’s an easy, no-fuss treat with a tender crumb, bright citrus flavour, and a texture that stays lovely for days.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ pots granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 whole orange
- 1 pot sunflower oil
- ½ pot freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 pot plain natural yogurt
- 3 pots all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
-
Beat eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and doubled in volume.
-
Mix in briefly so it perfumes the batter.
-
Sift flour and baking powder together; set aside.
-
Add the oil slowly in a thin stream while mixing, to keep the batter airy.
-
Mix in the yogurt, then the orange juice, only until combined (don’t overmix).
-
Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder briefly (low speed or spatula).
-
Pour into a buttered loaf pan (about 26 cm / 10-inch). Bake in a preheated 170°C (340°F) oven for 45-50 minutes.
-
Reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake a little longer.
-
Insert a skewer in the centre, it should come out clean and dry (a few crumbs are fine).
-
Let it sit a couple of minutes, unmould, then cool fully before slicing for the neatest crumb.
