Ingredients - Cake¶

• 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.
