There’s nothing more fun for children then letting them cook and bake. Yesterday, me and my 12 year old cousin indulged into some serious cooking and wanted to prepare a light and tasty dessert so we discovered this delicious recipe of a light chocolate and orange cake with yogurt! Believe me you will cut one slice after the other until the plate is empty!

Ingredients:

  • 380gr flour
  • 300gr sugar
  • 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 60gr cocoa powder
  • 250gr low-fat natural yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 tblsp balsamic vinegar
  • 250ml water
  • 120ml orange juice
  • 2 tblsp grated orange peel

Lightly butter a cake tin and dust with cocoa powder. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, bicarbonate, salt, cocoa and cinnamon. In another bowl mix the yogurt, vanilla essence, balsamic vinegar, water and orange juice. With a mixer beat all the ingredients together on low speed. Add the grated orange peel and pour into the baking tin.

After 30–40 minutes the cake should be ready. Leave to cool and set on a serving plate.

If you feel like you can decorate the cake with some orange juice icing. Just take 100gr icing sugar and mix it with 2 tblsp orange juice. Pour juice little at a time until the mixture is drizzly. Pour over cake and leave to set. Serve with sliced fresh oranges.

11 out of 10 for Celine! :)
