Spice cake

OILI Spice Cake

Ingredients:

4.5 dl all-purpose flour

2.5 dl brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cardamom

Finely grated zest of 1 orange

2 tsp baking soda

1.5 dl OILI olive oil

3 eggs

2.5 dl Greek yogurt

 

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 175 °C.
Grease a cake tin, approximately 1.5–2 liters.

2. Combine dry ingredients
In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, all spices, orange zest, and baking soda.

3. Add remaining ingredients
Add olive oil, eggs, and Greek yogurt. (It's advisable to add only half initially and mix to avoid lumps.)

4. Mix batter until smooth
Use a wooden spoon or whisk – do not overmix, just ensure everything is combined.

5. Pour batter into the greased tin and bake for 50–60 minutes on the middle rack of the oven.
You can check if the cake is done with a toothpick. The cake is ready when no raw batter sticks to the toothpick.

6. Let cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes, then invert and let cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

If desired, you can moisten the cake with orange juice.

The cake keeps well and tastes even better the next day.
