Recipe Note

To prepare the blood oranges:

Zest the oranges directly into the sugar for efficiency.

On a cutting board, remove the ends of the orange and then slice along the curved sides to remove all rind and pith. Over a bowl, cutting between the membranes, slice the fruit out of the orange. Remove supremes to a small bowl, leaving the juices behind.

Take the remaining "husks" of the oranges after removing the supremes and squeeze out juice to the already accumulated juice. You should have about 2 TBS.


Be sure to use thicker style greek yogurt, and not thin American-style yogurt. You can use whatever fat percentage you like, but 0% makes a perfectly lush cake, so use that if that's what you have.
