Things have been crazy around here lately as I scramble to finish all my school work before the semester ends. It's been the small moments of reprieve in between all the insanity that have allowed me the peace of mind to keep going. A few weeks ago, a friend visiting from out of town provided a much-needed excuse to stuff my face, drink mimosas and ignore school for a few hours.
I made this cake, as recommended by my friend Jen, and it was just too good not to share. Enjoy!
via 5 & Spice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cardamom
1 – 1 1/2 tsp. orange zest
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup olive oil
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a standard loaf pan and dust with flour.
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, cardamom, and kosher salt in a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly mixed.
Using fingers, rub orange zest into the sugar. Next, combine orange/sugar mixture with yogurt, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until well blended. Gently fold in the dry ingredients just until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake until top of cake is golden brown and a tester poked into center comes out clean, about 50-55 minutes.
Let the cake cool in pan for 15 minutes before loosening edges with a knife and inverting cake onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before serving.
