This cake is the one my mother is preparing like a chef! It is really simple but excellent. You cannot fail it. Good luck and degustez avec bon! (The cake will look dark orange so if you use black decoration on it, it is a perfect Halloween dessert).

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1

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