Bring a little sunshine to your baking with this delicious Classic Naartjie Yoghurt Cake! 😍✨ Soft, moist and bursting with fresh naartjie flavour, it’s the perfect treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. ☕️🍰
Ingredients:
2 cups cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cups caster sugar
3 large eggs
¾ cup neutral cooking oil
¾ cup plain yogurt (or maas)
Zest and juice of 2 ripe naartjies
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prep the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 170°C. Grease and line a loose-bottom cake pan or loaf tin.
2. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the caster sugar, plain yogurt, oil, naartjie juice, naartjie zest, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake at 170°C for 35 to 55 minutes (depending on your pan size) until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Optional Syrup: Heat extra naartjie juice with a little sugar in a small saucepan until reduced, then brush or pour it over the warm cake for extra citrus moisture. Cool completely before slicing.
