Turkish Orange Syrup Cake
A moist Turkish yogurt-and-oil sponge scented with orange zest, baked in a small round tin and drenched in a warm orange sugar syrup the moment it leaves the oven so the crumb soaks it up as it cools. Finished with a scatter of crushed pistachio for crunch and colour.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C and grease and line a 10cm/4 inch round cake tin.
2
Whisk the egg and 35g sugar together until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
3
Beat in the sunflower oil, yogurt, and orange zest until smoothly combined.
4
Sift the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt over the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined with no dry streaks.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 28-32 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the top springs back.
6
While the cake bakes, combine the orange juice and 30g sugar in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for 3-4 minutes until the sugar fully dissolves into a thin syrup.
7
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, prick the top all over with a skewer and spoon the warm orange syrup slowly over the surface, letting it soak in fully.
8
Leave the cake to cool completely in the tin so it absorbs the syrup evenly.
9
Turn out onto a wire rack, scatter with crushed pistachio, and slice to serve.
