Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Zest 1 tablespoon of orange peel, set aside. Juice orange and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Create a well in the flour mix and add olive oil, yogurt and eggs. Using a rubber spatula, stir into the dry ingredients.
Add orange juice, zest and fold batter until combined and there are no lumps.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool before slicing. Serve dusted with powdered sugar (as pictured), optional.
