Thermomix Orange Yoghurt Cake

Serves 10-12

It was love at first bite when I first tasted  Donna Hay’s Lemon Yoghurt Cake . I loved it so much and not just because it was one of the first cakes I ever converted to the Thermomix. This all in one cake has turned into one of my all time favourites, and it’s easy peasy lemon squeezy whether you make it with or without a Thermomix.

Then one day when I had an excess of oranges, I upcycled them into this recipe and I am happy to report that this cake is awesome with orange. The yoghurt gives the cake it’s lusciously light texture and the zest and juice of the orange give it some value added tang. I tell you, this cake tastes as pretty as it looks, it’s a keeper.

What do you like best? Oranges or lemons? Or like me, do you love them both equally?
