210g (1.5 cups) plain flour
2.5 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
200g (1 cup) caster sugar
2 tbsp poppy seeds
Zest of one orange
60ml (3 tbsp) fresh orange juice
120ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
120 ml (1/2 cup) Greek yogurt
60 ml (1/4 cup) milk
Preheat oven to 180C/350F/160C fan. Grease and line a loaf pan with baking or parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, poppy seeds and orange zest. Stir briefly to combine.
In a separate bowl, add orange juice, oil, eggs and vanilla. Whisk briefly just to break up the egg yolks.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, along with the yogurt and milk, and gently mix until combined – but be careful not to over mix. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Bake cake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
