Donna Hay's Orange Yoghurt Cake
Serves 10-12
I converted Donna Hay’s recipe, Lemon Yoghurt Cake and managed to make it in the Thermomix. It’s certainly quicker in the thermie, but equally as delicious. This cake is lovely with lemon, but just as awesome with orange!
Ingredients
180g vegetable oil
2 eggs
Zest of 1 orange
20g orange juice
280g thick natural yoghurt
280g raw sugar
300g self-raising flour
FOR THE ORANGE FROSTING
120g raw sugar
60ml orange juice
How to
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Place sugar and orange zest in the TM bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 9.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix on speed 4 for 10 seconds.
4. Pour mixture into a bundt tin and bake for 35 minutes.
FOR THE ORANGE SYRUP
1. Place sugar and orange juice in TM bowl and cook for 3 minutes at 80C on ^^.
2. Spoon syrup over the cake and serve warm.
Other info
TIP! For a beautiful bundt – make sure the bundt tin is really well-greased and lightly flour the tin before pouring the mixture in.

Nikkit - yum! This cake is easy, light, moist and gotta be good for you with orange in it! Must admit I just threw in the orange whole (quartered it first) as I didn't have time to de-rind and juice it and I cut the sugar back to 140g and I used grape seed oil and it worked a treat. I didn't do the syrup, ran out of time. 3 of us ate half of it at the beach this morning and even my spotty horse was eyeing off a piece, but I don't share cake with him, he's a pig and eats the whole lot.
This one is a keeper, thank you.
Denzelmum - I swap lemon for orange, plenty of lemons in the backyard. Blitz quartered lemon with sugar then follow the recipe. DH had three pieces within 15 min.
We love this cake. I cut down the syrup to 100g sugar and 50g lemon juice and it's plenty!
I have also used lemon from the backyard, homemade yoghurt and coconut sugar. The color is caramel, and soooo tasty!
maddy - I made this cake into cupcakes, and I didn't ice them for 2 days, and they were still incredibly moist!
I did brush the tops of cakes with a reduced amount of syrup, then piped orange buttercream on.
I found the cake didn't have a strong orange flavour, so I added the zest of 1 orange into the icing....think I may add more orange zest into the cake next time as I really liked its texture.
CC - Made this today. Cooked it for 50 minutes in my oven. Just had a piece,tastes delicious,thanks TAT for the recipe.
Kimmyh - Baked today. Very quick and yummy. Can't wait to try with lemon next. Thanks again TAT.
Thermesa - Made with 1.5 whole limes. I can't get over how light and fluffy this cake is.

Yummy tat and thanks for converting. I had this on my list of Donna Hay recipes to try/convert and now I don't have to thanks to you :)

I must say, it was good before the thermie, but it's lighter than ever with the Thermomix. People at work have been raving about it. It's a must try!
-
Looks very tasty, thanks.
-
Sam, it looks really nice made in that mould and it's great to hear that it has a lighter texture done in the TMX too.
-
looks yummy

Nikkit! You're a genius! I never thought to use the whole orange! I'm sooo going to try that next time! I'm thrilled you like it - all cakes in the thermie are super light and fluffy, but this one takes fluffiness to new heights!
-
Thanks for converting. Will try using the whole orange.
-
tat - thank you for the genius tag - I'll take that! I think lazy is more like it and I was in a hurry, so wasn't going to spend extra time fluffing around with a peeler!
I try not to make a lot of cakes (as then I have to eat it ;D ) but have been trying to do a different one each week to take to the beach. This one has been voted the best so far.
-
Nikkit, I can't stop making cakes. I think I have OCBD - Obssesive Compulsive Baking Disorder. I don't eat them but try and feed them to anyone who will eat them, usually my work colleagues, the local homeless guy, doctor's receptionists and random friends and family! Got a wicked berry and yoghurt cake that I just converted this week - will post soon. It went down a treat at my demo yesterday! Maybe that can be your next cake a la beach!
-
I swap lemon for orange. Baking in the oven now.

I've got a silicone one and it's my new best friend. Everything that comes out of it looks sooo good! :)
-
Buy it CP. I adore my bundt tins - I have more than round tins!
-
This is still a huge favourite in our house and have had heaps of people ask me for the recipe ;D
TAT - did you post your berry and yoghurt cake somewhere? Would love to try it.

Yes, it's a big favourite here too, we love it almost as much as the Berry and Yoghurt Cake which is absolutely delish! I'm making one today for the Biggest Morning Tea on Thursday (it freezes really well.) I am sure I have posted it on the forum but if you can't find it, it's on the blog http://www.theannoyedthyroid.com/2013/02/21/thermomix-mixed-berry-yoghurt-cake/ (http://www.theannoyedthyroid.com/2013/02/21/thermomix-mixed-berry-yoghurt-cake/) I hope you like it!
-
TAT Thank you very much from my lips...not my hips!
Will give it a go.

We're having a biggest morning tea up here in the caravan park on Sunday. That way we hope some of the people from Denham will come out. Last year we raised around $900.
We all take a plate and pay $10 each to go. We have silly auctions and things. Last year one lady paid $150 for an oven mitt.
There are around 30 or so of us. Hopefully more this year.

sounds like fun cookie and for a great cause;D;D
-
That sounds great, Cookie. The folks at work aren't quite as generous as the peeps in your neighbourhood, but every little bit helps! Such a good cause!

I topped them with flowers I made from orange starburst chews.
The icing was the quick buttercream posted by Johnro here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=13139.msg286323#msg286323
I think it needs its own thread though, as it works well, perfect if in a hurry, and is a good consistency too 8)

Maddy, you are so clever, they look beautiful! :) Cupcakes - now there's food for thought! Bravo!
-
Superb cupcakes Maddy 8)
