Orange Yoghurt Cake

I was looking for a simple cake to bake to take over to a friend's house and found this quick cake on Martha Stewart's website.  I altered my recipe slightly by adding wholemeal flour instead of white, coconut oil rather than vegetable oil and rapadura sugar rather than caster.  To account for the changes I added a little extra of the yogurt and the oil and the recipe turned out moist, it also gained the approval of two girls so I made it again this week for school lunches. This is the recipe for you if you want to give it a try, without the changes.

1 cup of plain flour, sifted,
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
½ cup plain whole-milk yoghurt
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon orange juice
1 large egg
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.  Butter a 20cm round cake tin.  Stir flour, ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, yogurt, oil, orange zest and juice, egg and vanilla in a bowl.  Pour into pan.  Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes.  Let cool on a rack and dust with icing sugar or add a simple butter icing.
