Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
4 or 5 (1-inch-wide) strips orange zest
Nonstick vegetable spray
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons nonfat milk powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup safflower oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon nigella seeds

Steps:

  • Bring sugar, ginger, orange zest, and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Set syrup and candied orange zest aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Thoroughly coat the six (1-cup) molds of a mini Bundt pan with vegetable spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, milk powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add to dry ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined. Stir in nigella seeds just until incorporated.
  • Divide batter evenly among molds. Bake until firm, puffed, and golden brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Spoon 2 tablespoons reserved syrup over each cake; let stand for 15 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, invert pan onto cooling rack. Serve cakes drizzled with remaining syrup and garnish with thinly sliced candied orange zest, if desired.
