Easy Orange Yogurt Cake
Here’s a delightful and easy orange yogurt cake that’s perfect for any occasion. This cake is known for its incredible moistness and bright, citrusy flavor. This is all without the fuss of complicated ingredients or techniques.
You’ll likely have most of the ingredients on hand: flour, sugar, eggs, oil, and, of course, Greek yogurt and oranges. The zest and juice of a fresh orange infuse the cake with a vibrant, natural citrus essence. You can also make the same cake with lemon zest and juice.
The orange yogurt cake emerges golden and fragrant, ready to be enjoyed. You can serve it as is or with a simple dusting of powdered sugar. For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, you can drizzle it with a light orange glaze made from powdered sugar and orange zest and juice.
