Ingredients

Orange cake
90g caster sugar
90g soft butter
2 medium eggs
90g plain flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
40g Natural Yoghurt
Zest of 1 Orange

Cream cheese frosting

50g soft butter
50g icing sugar
30g soft cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Selection of Summer berries

Method

Preheat oven to 165ºC
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and caster sugar, until pale in colour.
Gradually add the eggs one by one until combined.
Add the zest of one orange and the yoghurt, mix.
Sieve the flour and baking powder and fold into the orange batter.
Its important not to over mix at this stage as you will be left with a heavy cake.
Place this batter into your lined baking tin and bake for 35- 40 minutes or until golden brown and springy to touch.
When cooked remove and allow to cool.
For the frosting, in a bowl beat the butter, icing sugar and vanilla until pale in colour, when soft and creamy add the cream cheese and fold in.
Remove the cake from the tin, spread the frosting on top and garnish with seasonal berries.

Enjoy!
