Ingredients: 2 eggs; 1 cup natural yogurt; 1 1/2 cups sugar (separated); 1/3 cup vegetable oil; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 cup almond meal; 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; juice of 1 orange; 2 teaspoons orange flower water; 1/3 cup sliced almonds (not toasted)

Servings: persons

2 eggs
1 cup natural yogurt
1 1/2 cups sugar (separated)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup almond meal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
juice of 1 orange
2 teaspoons orange flower water
1/3 cup sliced almonds (not toasted)

1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Combine eggs, yogurt, 1 cup sugar, oil, and vanilla.
2
Whisk together flour, almond meal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add gradually to wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
3
Pour the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top, and bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife comes out of the center clean.
4
While the cake is baking, make the syrup: juice the orange and mix with remaining 1/2 cup sugar and orange flower water. Heat in small saucepan over stovetop until sugar has dissolved (5-7 minutes).
5
When cake comes out of the oven, let stand 10 minutes, then use toothpick to poke holes over the top and pour the syrup over. The syrup may puddle at the top- don't worry, it will sink in. Allow to cool before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
