Here is a recipe I whipped up from scratch. Something impossible to fail, which taste a little bit special nonetheless.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Turkish yoghurt
  • 1 ¼ cup (250g) white sugar
  • 1 ⅓ cup (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120) almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 teaspoons (20 ml) sunflower oil
  • 2 teaspoons nutella
  • ½ orange (zests + juice)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, blend together the Turkish yoghurt, sugar, flour, almond flour, baking powder, the eggs and sunflower oil until pale and smooth.
  2. Transfer one third of the batter in a smaller bowl and blend roughly with the nutella.
  3. Grate the skin of the orange half and juice it. Add the zests and the juice to the batter in the large bowl and stir.
  4. In a greased loaf tin, pour the orange batter and the nutella batter in layers.
  5. Bake in the oven for approx. 60 minutes (see my comments above) at 400 °F (200°C). Allow to cool completely before serving.
