You have the warmth of the cardamom paired perfectly with the caramelized oranges— this is the kind of cake you DON’T want to share.
Let’s get started!
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9 inch springform pan, line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, rub the orange zest into the sugar, then add the eggs and beat until thick and light in color.
Whisk in the olive oil, yogurt, vanilla, orange juice, and mix until smooth. Whisk in the flour, cardamom powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the baking pan— Add melted butter to the springform pan and swirl to coat the bottom of pan. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the bottom.
Slice an orange into ⅛ inch rounds, place the orange slices over the sugar, as shown below.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy warm with a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of honey!
