Ingredients
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 oranges, peel removed, oranges sliced
250g self-raising flour
150g caster sugar
Zest of one large lemon
2 large eggs
120ml olive oil
100g butter, melted
60ml lemon juice
1/3 cup Greek yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan)
- Line the bottom of a 20cm springform tin with parchment and butter the sides well.
- Spread 1 tbsp butter over the parchment in the tin and sprinkle with 1 tbsp brown sugar.
- Arrange the sliced oranges on top of the brown sugar (2 layers is ok), leave a small space around the edge for the cake to expand into.
- Sift the self-raising flour into a large mixing bowl.
- In a second bowl, stir the lemon zest into the caster sugar until combined and fragrant.
- Whisk in the eggs, followed by the olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, Greek yoghurt and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and whisk to combine.
- Pour the cake batter over the oranges in the prepared tin and bake for 40–45 minutes, until a skewer placed in the centre comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 minutes before releasing it from the springform tin and turning it out.
- Serve as is (great while still warm), or with a dollop of Greek yoghurt or cream.
