MESKOUTA (MOROCCAN ORANGE CAKE)
A traditional Moroccan cake typically served for tea or breakfast, meskouta is made with ingredients you likely have on hand, and it doesn't require a mixer. Extra-virgin olive oil makes it moist on the inside and golden on the outside. The cake is excellent on its own, but for something really special, add whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 8½-by-4½-inch loaf pan with olive oil, and line it with a sheet of parchment paper so that you have extra on the sides. (You'll use this to lift the loaf out of the pan.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined. In another large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the yogurt, olive oil, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture, and whisk until well incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix using a spatula until you no longer see flecks of flour, making sure not to overmix. (The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and use a spatula to spread into an even layer.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some small, moist crumbs. (If the cake needs another minute or two, but is becoming too brown, tent with foil.) Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before using the parchment overhang to remove from the pan.
- Make the optional whipped cream: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the cream and the confectioners' sugar for about 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high until medium peaks begin to form. You want a spreading consistency. Cover and keep in the fridge until ready to serve the cake.
- To serve, cut the cake in slices, top with whipped cream, if using, and garnish with chocolate shavings, if using. Alternatively, you can also top the whole cake with whipped cream, then slice it. Without the whipped cream, the cake keeps for up to 5 days in an airtight container on the counter.
MESKOUTA (MOROCCAN YOGURT CAKE)
Meskouta is a wonderfully moist Moroccan yogurt cake that is so easy to prepare. Feel free to switch up the citrus and use lime zest instead of lemon.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a bundt pan or ring mold, greased with unsalted butter, and floured.
- Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff.
- In a separate large bowl beat together the yogurt, oil, sugar and egg yolks with the rosemary and lemon zest. Stir in the vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until smooth.
- Fold in the egg whites carefully and incorporate evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan before inverting onto a wire cooling rack. Let cool completely.
- When completely cool, sift the confectioners' sugar on top and serve.
