Description

This easy poke cake uses fresh orange zest in the batter and the juice after it comes out of the oven.

Ingredients

3/8 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 oranges, zested and juiced
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 In a medium bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, sugar and eggs. Stir in yogurt and orange zest. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the mixture just until blended. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch baking pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Poke holes in the cake with a knife, and pour the juice from the oranges over the cake slowly until it has all been absorbed.
