Description

This pound cake is a little different than regular recipes: no butter, all whole wheat flour, and a lot of citrus.

It only takes 10 minutes to mix up AND you only need one bowl!

If this won’t brighten up a cold winter day, I’m not sure what will.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE POUND CAKE:
  • 1 cup Yogurt (I Used Plain Whole Milk)
  • 1-⅓ cup Sugar, Divided
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Orange Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1-½ cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Light/neutral Oil
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Orange Juice
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • ¼ cups Fresh Orange Juice
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease and flour the pan.
3. Whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, eggs, zest, and vanilla.
4. Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Fold the oil into the batter.
6. Pour into the loaf pan.
7. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. While the cake cools, heat the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar with the juice until the sugar is dissolved. Once the cake has cooled about 10 minutes, pour the juice mixture over the top and let it soak in.
9. Remove the cake after a few minutes and let it finish cooling on a rack.
10. For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar, juice, and vanilla. Pour the glaze over the cake.

The baking powder taste is overwhelming, and the cake is not very sweet.
