Ingredients
Orange Yogurt Bundt Cake
- 2½ cups all-purpose wholewheat flour spelt or einkorn works beautifully
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1½ cups date sugar
- Zest of 2 oranges
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup plain yogurt full-fat preferred
- ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Honeyed Ginger Orange Marmalade

- 2 tbsp fresh ginger very thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp honey adjust to taste
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Bake the orange yogurt bundt cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a Bundt pan with olive oil and lightly flour it.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, rub the orange zest into the date sugar until fragrant.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add the yogurt, olive oil, orange juice, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold in dry ingredients just until combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake 45–55 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Cool for 15 minutes, then invert onto a rack and cool completely.
Make the honeyed ginger orange marmalade
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Cook 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oranges are soft and the mixture becomes glossy and syrupy.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly — it will thicken as it rests.
- Spoon the marmalade generously over the cooled bundt cake. Delicious on its own or with a dollop of honey-whipped yogurt.

Notes
This cake improves with time. The olive oil keeps it moist, the date sugar adds depth, and the honeyed ginger marmalade brings brightness and warmth. It is simple, balanced, and quietly special. I can’t wait for you to try.
