Orange yoghurt cake

I love baking without the hassle of cleaning all the buttery utensils and bowls, so I love this recipe. Delicious and healthy cake, and I love the real orange taste as opposed to store-bought orange products that have the artificial taste.

Orange yoghurt cake

1 cup flour
1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp grated orange zest, plus 1 tbsp orange juice
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large orange (zested into thin strips and segmented)

1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Butter an 8-inch cake pan. Stir flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, yoghurt, oil, orange zest and juice, egg and vanilla in a bowl. Pour into pan. Bake for about 25 minutes until cake tester comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.
2. Place zest strips in a bowl. Stir in segments and remaining sugar. Garnish cake with some segments, serve with the rest.
