Ingredients
  

  • 2 3/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup orange zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
  • 1/3 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2/3 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup honey

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • Loaf pan (9x5 inch)
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and orange zest until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, large eggs, almond extract, coconut sugar, Greek yogurt, orange juice, almond milk, and honey. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined and avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and airy.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.
  6. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown.
  7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy yogurt.
  • Swap coconut sugar with brown sugar or maple syrup for a different flavor.
  • Add nuts for extra crunch and nutrition.
