Aperol Spritz flavored cake

Try this recipe for an Aperol spritz flavored cake that borrows all the bittersweet, citrusy flavor from the classic summer drink.

The orange yogurt cake is fluffy and the pink frosting is slightly moist and just sweet enough.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt until combined.

3. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, oil, orange zest, orange juice, and sugar until combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a silicone spatula until a smooth dough without lumps is formed.
