Hello!

*avoids eye contact*

*nervously twitches fingers*

*takes slow breaths*

Okay, i guess posting/blogging has been a tad slow. I mean, really slow.

I mean, I can't even tell for certain if anyone is actually reading this, so there goes my motivation to be productive.

But nevertheless, dear internet, I present to you an extremely moist orange cake made WITHOUT butter!

The horror!

But it was so moist, and so so soft. And flavorful. 

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!

Honestly, I don't know. But I'm assuming that yoghurt and 1/2 a cup of canola oil had something to do with its sublime texture.

So I apologize If for that ethereal moment I had led you to believe that it is a fat-free cake, because it really isn't.

But, canola is practically health-food, no?

I also probably should mention that this is the first time i baked with zest, orange zest to be more specific. And it was a dream! It gave off the most beautiful scent when it emerged from the oven.

Before I reveal the recipe, i should probably mention my adaptations (or lack thereof)

:-I baked the batter in the square tin that you see above and it took my cake 30 minutes to bake to golden perfection. 

 -I used canola oil instead of olive oil.

 -I also used greek yoghurt with a small splash of milk to make it a thinner consistency. After which i added a teaspoon of madagascar vanilla extract.

 -Before baking i sprinkled some sliced almonds on top which added a magnificent crunch. And i highly recommend that you do as well. I reckon the next time i make this, I will sprinkle them generously.

RECIPE.

from Orangette but I followed the recipe from this website

Also I'm contemplating whether i would want to post recipes here instead of leaving you guys with links. Would that be better?

I don't know.

Anyway, Enjoy!

:D
