before making this cake, i want you to know that this cake is not your typical sugary cake, it contains half a cup of powdered sugar, you can absolutely add regular white sugar if you like, and or add sweetener such as stevia

i also squeezed an orange fruit but using an orange juice from a box will work just fine 🙂

ingredients:

• 3 tbsp warm water
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• pinch of salt
• extra flour for dusting

directions:

1. pre heat the oven to 350f
2. into a mixing bowl, add all wet ingredients then mix well
3. then add all dry ingredients and combine. set aside
4. sprinkle the prepared baking pan with a little bit of flour then add the batter into the pan
5. bake to pre heated oven for 35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean
6. enjoy!
