Greek Yoghurt & Orange Cake

This moist, beautifully scented and extremely savory orange cake with greek yoghurt [a great combination, believe me] will easily become an addition once you've baked it for the first time. This is definitely my current go-to breakfast / snack / dessert quick and easy recipe that's full of citrusy flavour. It will also keep for a fewdays in an airtight container...that is,  if you can resist eating it all at once!


Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
•  zest of 3 oranges
• juice of 2 oranges
• 100 gr liquid butter
• 6 small eggs 
• 125 ml of natural Greek yoghurt
• 2 cups of flour with baking powder

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Separate the whites from the yolks and whisk the egg whites. Reserve. In a glass bowl place the sugar, eggs and zest of oranges. Add the butter and beat all well with electric mixer, until you get a creamy texture. Then add the yogurt and the juice of oranges and beat, and then the flour and beat well again. Finally, slowly add the egg whites and gently get it involved in the dough. Grease a mold with butter and sprinkle it with flour and take to a preheated oven at 180º for about 45m.
