Dry cakes, be gone! For me, a cake must be moist and melt in the mouth. This orange-flavoured marble cake with poppy seeds does exactly this. Not only does it impress with its delicious flavour, but it's also visually very appealing. The yellow and black marbling makes it a real eye-catcher – perfect for a stylish teatime or a delicious afternoon snack.

Ingredients

for 12 pieces

Orange sugar
120 g sugar
2  organic oranges, grated zest, juice set aside
Cake mixture
3  eggs
130 g vegan plain yoghurt substitute
¾ dl sunflower oil
1 tsp vanilla paste
230 g white flour
50 g potato starch
2 tsp baking powder
47 g blue poppy seeds

How it's done

Orange sugar

Place the sugar and orange zest in a bowl, rub together carefully by hand until the orange zest is evenly distributed. Set aside 2 tbsp of the orange sugar to decorate.

Cake mixture

Add the eggs to the bowl containing the remainder of the orange sugar, beat using the whisk on a mixer until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Mix in 50 ml of the reserved orange juice, yoghurt substitute, oil and vanilla. Combine the flour, potato starch and baking powder, mix in. Transfer half of the mixture to a second bowl, mix in the poppy seeds. Spoon one tablespoon of each of the cake mixtures alternately into the prepared tin until all of the mixture has been used up. Use a wooden skewer to create a marble effect.

To bake

Approx. 50 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 170 °C. Remove. Pour the remainder of the reserved orange juice (approx. 50 ml) over the hot cake, allow to cool for approx. 20 mins. Remove the cake from the tin, sprinkle with the reserved orange sugar, leave to cool completely.
