Main Ingredients for Preparing Orange Cake with Orange Sauce:

 

For the Cake:

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons of baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon of salt
• ½ teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 cups of fine sugar
• 1 cup of melted butter
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla (or powdered vanilla as an alternative)
• 2 tablespoons of finely grated orange zest
• 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest
• ½ cup of liquid milk
• ½ cup of yogurt

For the Orange Sauce:

• ½ cup of orange marmalade
• Juice of 2 oranges
• ½ cup of yogurt

How to Prepare Orange Cake with Orange Sauce:

1. Prepare the Cake Molds:

   • Use small rectangular cake molds, greasing them with ghee or butter using a wide brush. Sprinkle flour inside the molds, ensuring it covers all sides. Then, line the bottom with parchment paper and tap the molds gently to remove any excess flour. Repeat for all molds.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

   • In a large, deep bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
   • In a mixer, combine the sugar and melted butter, beating on medium speed for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes pale yellow.
   • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. After each addition, mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla, grated orange zest, grated lemon zest, milk, and yogurt, and mix for 60 seconds on medium speed.
   • Slowly add the dry ingredients while mixing on low speed for 3 minutes until a smooth, well-combined batter forms.

3. Bake the Cake:

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the batter into the prepared molds and place them on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cakes are fully baked and turn light golden.

4. Prepare the Orange Sauce:

   • In a small pot, combine the orange marmalade, orange juice, and yogurt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a smooth sauce forms.

5. Cool and Serve:

   • Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the molds on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, gently remove the cakes from the molds and allow them to cool completely.
   • Arrange the cakes on a serving plate and drizzle each cake with a generous amount of orange sauce.

Your delicious orange cake with orange sauce is now ready to serve. Enjoy this refreshing and flavorful dessert!
