Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-inch round metal pan.
Add the olive oil, yogurt, eggs, honey, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine into a smooth batter.
Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-34 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then slice and serve with berries, whipped cream, or candied citrus.

Notes

- Once cooled, store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can warm slightly to serve, though we like it chilled and at room temperature, too.
- Use fresh orange zest and juice for the best flavor.

- Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

- Use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour in place of the all-purpose flour if desired.

- Top with candied orange, whipped cream, berries, or vanilla ice cream.
