Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 9" round cake pan

Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups Gluten Free 1.1 flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup Dairy Free Greek yogurt, plain
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • Nucolato Hazelnut Spread for frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" round cake pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • Add the sugar and orange zest to a bowl and mix for a couple of minutes to release the oils from the zest and infuse the orange flavor into the sugar.
  • Add your eggs, oil, orange juice, yogurt, and vanilla extract and mix for a couple of minutes until the sugar is partially dissolved and the mixture is lighter in color.
  • Add your dry ingredients and mix until just combined, careful not to over mix.
  • Pour your batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely.
  • Once cool remove the cake from the pan and place on a serving plate or cake stand.
  • Pour the chocolate hazelnut spread over the top and smooth out with an offset spatula.
  • Slice and enjoy!
