Preparation
1️⃣ First, crack the eggs into a bowl, add the sweetener (or sugar), and beat them with an electric mixer.
2️⃣ When they have doubled in volume and become light and fluffy, add the oil and yogurt, mix with a hand whisk, add the orange zest, and blend.
3️⃣ Now, add the orange juice, stir, sift, and incorporate part of the flour. Stir, sift the rest, do the same, and add the baking powder. Then, continue mixing to remove any lumps.
4️⃣ Now, butter a 22-centimeter cake mold, pour in the batter, turn it with a toothpick, and bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes at 170°C.
5️⃣ Then, squeeze the juice of a couple of oranges into a small bowl, add a tablespoon of sugar, and stir.
6️⃣ Once the cake is baked, prick the surface with a fork and pour in the orange juice while it’s still warm. Finally, invert it onto a plate and serve with a little powdered sugar. 🍰
