PureSpelt Honey Orange Cake
Preparation time: approx. 30 minutes
Baking or cooking time: approx. 55 minutes
makes one 26 cm loaf cake

Batter
150 g butter, soft
175 g raw sugar
pinch salt
3 eggs
the zest of one organic orange
225 g full-fat yogurt
375 g PureSpelt half-white or white flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Drizzle
150 ml orange juice, freshly squeezed
2-3 tbsp honey
1
Batter: Cream the butter, then beat in the sugar and salt. Add the eggs one at a time and continue mixing until the mixture is light in colour. Add the orange zest and yogurt. Add the flour and baking powder, gently folding into the batter. Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking form, smooth the top and use a rubber spatula to make a groove in the middle of the batter so the cake rises nicely when baking.
2
Bake: Bake the cake in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180 °C for 50-55 minutes. Test with a skewer and if there is batter sticking to it, continue baking the cake until it comes out clean. Remove and let cool briefly.
3
Drizzle: Stir together the honey and orange juice and pour over top of the cake, letting it soak in. Cut into pieces and serve.
Tips
Well-wrapped, the cake keeps for 5-6 days in a cool place.
Instead of orange, you could use lemon, clementine or a citrus fruit mixture.
