Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth. Gradually add olive oil and blend well.
Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–55 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
