Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch springform pan by greasing it with butter and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, vigorously beat 3 eggs and 1 cup of sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Sift together 1.5 cups of flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder, then gradually add to the egg-sugar mixture.
- Add 0.5 cups of softened butter to the batter and mix until smooth.
- Spoon in 0.5 cups of Greek yogurt and blend into the batter.
- Puree the whole organic orange in a food processor until smooth, then fold it into the cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a rack.
- In a saucepan, combine 0.25 cups of orange juice and 0.5 cups of sugar over medium heat; simmer until thickened.
- Brush the warm glaze generously over the cake.
- Slice and serve with whipped cream or fresh fruit.

Notes
Choose organic, thin-skinned oranges for the best flavor. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to prevent the glaze from melting.
