• 200 g granulated sugar
• 1 orange zest
• 125 g whole plain yogurt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 180 g all-purpose or cake flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.5 cup canola oil

Ingredients - Soaking Syrup

• 2 Tbsp Grand Marnier
• 2 Tbsp orange juice
• 50 g superfine sugar

Ingredients - Glaze

• 0.75 cup apricot jam or marmalade
• 2 tsp rum or water

Cookware

• 1 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan
• 1 bowl

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Combine the 2 jars of granulated sugar and orange zest in a bowl and, using your fingertips, rub them together to distribute the citrus oils.

Step 3

Whisk the 1 jar of whole plain yogurt and room temperature eggs together. Add the zesty sugar and vanilla and whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the 3 jars of all-purpose or cake flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk just to combine. Add the 1 jar of canola oil and whisk just until homogeneous.

Step 4

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Prepare the soaking syrup by heating the Grand Marnier and orange juice in a microwave until warm, but not hot. Stir in the superfine sugar to dissolve. Drizzle this over the cake while still warm.

Step 6

To make the glaze, warm the apricot jam or marmalade with the rum or water over low heat. Strain. Brush into the cake once it has cooled to room temperature.
