Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180ºC (160°C fan-forced). Line a 23cm springform tin.

  • 2. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until pale and light. Add in the yoghurt, orange juice and zest, beating briefly until combined. It will curdle but don't worry, it's meant to.

  • 3. In a separate, large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Fold in to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Scrape into your prepared tin and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Run a knife around the edge of the cake, but leave it in the tin to cool. Transfer to a serving plate.

  • 4. To make the syrup, bring orange juice and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, cooking until it thickens slightly.

  • 5. Arrange orange slices over cooled cake and when ready to serve, spoon over warm syrup.
