Equipment

  • 9-inch cake pan
  • skewer

Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Orange Zest
  • 3/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt, Room Temperature
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

For the Orange Syrup

  • 1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1 tsp Orange Zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, rub the orange zest into the sugar with your fingertips until fragrant and slightly damp.
  • Add the orange juice, yogurt, olive oil and vanilla and whisk until smooth and fully blended.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the wet mixture, fold gently just until combined and pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake bakes, simmer the orange juice and sugar for the syrup for 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Poke holes all over the warm cake with a skewer and brush the syrup over the top.
    Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice and orange zest until smooth and thick. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for 15 minutes before slicing.
