Our Best Orange Cake Yet!

Hello, lovely readers!

Here at Zaya & Kai, we’re always inspired by nature’s beauty and bounty. Today, we’re thrilled to share something that combines our love for sustainability with our passion for delightful treats: our best orange cake yet! This cake is not only a delicious way to indulge but also a sneak peek into something incredibly special we’ve been working on.

Our orange cake recipe embodies our philosophy of making the most out of every ingredient in our kitchen. It’s a testament to using fresh, natural ingredients to create something truly delightful.

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for our best orange cake yet:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• Zest of 1 orange

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
4. Stir in Greek yogurt, orange juice, and orange zest until well combined.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
   
   Serving Suggestions:
   Serve your orange cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle with a simple orange glaze made from powdered sugar and fresh orange juice. Pair with a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy the sweet, citrusy goodness!

While you’re enjoying this delightful orange cake, we have a little secret brewing. Something big and exciting is on the horizon, inspired by the same zest and vibrancy as our cake. Stay tuned for more updates—you won’t want to miss what’s coming next!

Happy baking!

Warm wishes,
The Zaya & Kai Team
