Oh my goodness. This was amazing.
We were stuck inside on what appears to be the only day of rain this summer, and I had the itch to play in the kitchen. I canned and baked my heart out. It was time for a cake. I'm enjoying Voracious so much that I have renewed it twice and am anxiously awaiting its release in paperback next month. This recipe was inspired by Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, which I both read and enjoyed. The recipe is very easy to put together, and the most time consuming part was greasing and lining the springform pan.
You need:
1 1/2 c. plain, full-fat Greek yogurt
2/3 c. olive oil
3 large eggs
1 1/4 c. sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
juice and zest of an orange
2 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-in springform pan, line the bottom with parchment, and grease the parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together the first six ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient, mixing until smooth. Pour into a prepared pan. Bake 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly before serving.
