This orange almond olive oil cake has a subtle and sweet citrus flavor without being too sugary. The almonds give the texture a little crunch and substance, and although it’s not overpowering, the olive oil gives it such a nice flavor.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup whole milk plain Greek yogurt + more for garnish if desired
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ground almonds
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350˚F.
  2. Brush a 9-inch cake pan with olive oil. Line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper and brush that with olive oil too.
  3. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, blend the yogurt, sugar and eggs together until well mixed.
  4. Combine the flour, almonds, baking soda, salt and orange zest in bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture and mix until just combined.

Cool to room temperature and then dust with powdered sugar, garnish with orange segments, zest or peel and serve with plain Greek yogurt.
