Instructions
-
Prepare the Oranges: Start by zesting the oranges and then squeeze their juice. You’ll need approximately 50g of fresh orange juice and around 5g of zest.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add the natural yogurt and continue to beat at medium-high speed until smooth and well combined.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir until fully incorporated.
-
Flavor It: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon to enhance the flavor profile of your cake. Stir to combine.
-
Combine the Mixture: Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and zest, and continue mixing until all ingredients are well integrated.
-
Prepare the Pan: Grease a 30×11 cm (12×4 inches) loaf pan with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared batter into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
-
Bake the Plumcake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) in static mode. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. After 25 minutes, begin checking the cake’s progress with a toothpick. The cake is ready when the toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the plumcake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Finishing Touches: Once cooled, dust the top of your plumcake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Slice and serve to enjoy a light, fragrant cake with the perfect balance of citrusy sweetness.
