Ingredients
Cake Cubes:
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 navel orange, juiced and zested (about ¼ cup juice)
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup plain whole-milk yogurt
Trifle:
- 2 navel oranges, peeled and segmented
- 2 ruby red grapefruits, peeled and segmented
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup strawberry jam
- ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
- For the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to combine the eggs, sugar and orange zest, mixing on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, slowly stream in the oil and orange juice.
- Mix in half the yogurt until smooth, then half the flour mixture. Repeat with remaining yogurt and flour mixture until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool completely, about 1 hour. Once cool, turn cake out onto a cutting board and slice into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
- For the trifle: In a small bowl, combine citrus segments and sugar. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and jam. Set aside.
- To assemble: Spread a thin layer of the yogurt-jam mixture on the bottom of a glass trifle cylinder. Add a layer of cake cubes, another layer of yogurt and a layer of citrus segments. Repeat until there are 3 layers of cake in all, finishing with a layer of citrus segments on top. (You should end up using about ¾ of the cake.) Refrigerate trifle at least 1 hour.
- Sprinkle almonds over the top of the trifle just before serving.
