ORANGE YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter and flour a 9x13 cake pan.
• Combine the dry ingredients (the first five listed).
• Beat together the eggs and sugar until foamy. Add the butter, grated orange peel, and vanilla.
• Add yogurt, juice, and dry ingredients to the egg mixture gradually.
• Bake for 45 minutes, until the cake is firm and golden.
• Combine all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan and bring quickly to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Allow to cool, and remove the cinnamon stick and orange peel.
• Poke holes into the top of the cake and pour the syrup over it while the cake is still warm. It's going to seem like an awful lot of syrup, but keep pouring!
• I think this cake tastes best when it's completely cooled, so try to wait a while before eating.

ORANGE-YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan. Stir flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, yogurt, oil, orange zest and juice, egg, and vanilla in a bowl. Pour into pan. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Place zest strips in a bowl. Stir in segments and remaining tablespoon sugar. Garnish cake with some segments; serve with the rest. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

ORANGE AND ALMOND SPANISH CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F.
• Line a 23 cm spring-form tin on the bottom and sides with greaseproof paper.
• Keeping 1 tbsp of caster sugar aside for later, mix the egg yolks and sugar together until pale.
• Then add the almonds and zest.
• Beat the egg whites and remaining tablespoon of sugar until stiff.
• Carefully fold into the sugar-egg mixture, trying not to knock the air out of the whites.
• The egg yolk/sugar mixture will seem quite stiff at first, but keep folding in the egg whites and it will soon loosen up.
• Gently ease the batter into the lined tin.
• Place on the middle shelf of your oven and bake for 60-70 minutes until it is golden on top and firm to touch.
• While the torte is in the oven, make the syrup by placing the orange juice, lemon juice and cinnamon in a saucepan with a handful of sugar.
• Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for about five minutes.
• Taste.
• The syrup should be quite tart.
• Cool and place in the fridge.
• When the torte is ready, remove from the oven and cool completely on a rack before opening the springform tin.
• Transfer to a plate and pierce four small holes in the top of the cake.
• Pour half the syrup over the top and serve with the rest of the syrup on the side.
• If you are making the cake ahead of time, I usually wait until a few hours before serving to pour the syrup over.
