This is regular granulated sugar which I ground in a blender. 8)Add in a splash of vanilla extract. 9)This recipe calls for orange juice. I took one big orange, peeled it, removed the seeds and ground it coarsely . So my orange juice has pulps as well which adds so much flavour and texture to the cake. 10)You need thick yogurt. Plain yogurt or unflavoured and unsweetened greek yogurt is best. 11)I use some orange extract which I had on hand. You can skip this if you don’t have it. But when using orange extract, just use few drops. 12)Mix the orange juice with sugar and orange pulp really well. 13)Add in the sifted flour. 14)Fold the flour into the orange juice mixture. Now you can see the orange segments is evenly dispersed into the batter. If you feel the batter is too thick, then you can add some milk and fold the batter.
