Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F and line a 20 cm cake pan with baking paper.

  2. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale, slightly thick, and airy.

  1. Whisk in olive oil, yogurt, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.

  2. In a second bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.

  3. Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no dry streaks remain.

  4. Pour batter into the pan and tap once to remove large air bubbles.

  5. Bake until the center springs back and a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then move to a rack before slicing.

Tips

Use a fruity olive oil, not a bitter one, and do not overmix after adding flour.
