Orange-Vanilla Pound Cake
This is such an easy entertaining loaf cake. Plus, you can use the same base to make it up so many ways....instead of orange, try chocolate chips, cranberries, blueberries, raspberries, lemon, poppy, marble...etc. Also, all you need is a whisk and a spatula...No need to dirty up a hand mixer or any fancy cake-making equipment!
1. Prep loaf dish with parchment paper.
2. Preheat oven to 350
3. Sift dry ingredients together in a small bowl, set aside.
4. Whisk wet ingredients together** Everything but the oil.
5. Add dry to wet, slowly whisking until all is mixed.
6. Gently fold in the vegetable oil.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
You'll need:
DRY:
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
WET:
- 3 extra large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- zest of 2 oranges
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
FROSTING:
- mix together 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, zest of 1 orange, 1/2 cup icing sugar (give or take)- and ice your cake when it has fully cooled.

I ate this so fast that I forgot what it tasted like. I think it was light, moist and fluffy. Sweet but not too sweet. Oh and Moolicious.
