Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 orange)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the fresh orange juice and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the plain yogurt, until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
