Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly. Meanwhile, butter a 23cm springform cake tin and line with baking parchment. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Put the 200g caster sugar, flour and ground almonds in a large bowl and mix well. Whisk the eggs and 75g yogurt into the cooled melted butter, then pour this into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Zest the lemon and orange over the bowl. Stir with a spatula until there are no streaks of flour, then scrape into the tin and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 40 mins.
• Cut a few slices each from the zested lemon and orange, then squeeze the juice from what's left of each into a saucepan (you'll need about 6 tbsp total). Add the 2 tbsp caster sugar and the fruit slices to the pan. Bring to the boil and cook for 5-10 mins, or until the juice has reduced to a thin syrup and the fruit slices have softened. Leave to cool. Remove the fruit slices to a sheet of baking parchment and leave to dry.
• Insert a skewer into the middle of the cake - it should come out dry, with no wet cake mix clinging to it. If it's not ready, bake for 5-10 mins more and check again. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then spoon over the citrus syrup. Leave to cool for 10 mins more, then remove from the tin. To freeze, first leave to cool completely, then wrap the cake well. Will keep frozen for up to three months.
• Mix the 2 tbsp yogurt with the icing sugar to make a thick icing. Spoon this onto the centre of the cake and use the back of a spoon to ease it to the edge (it should drip over the side). Scatter over the flaked almonds and decorate with the fruit slices. Serve warm, or leave to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight tin for up to five days.

Steps:

Stir flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, yogurt, oil, orange zest and juice, egg, and vanilla in a bowl. Pour into pan. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Place zest strips in a bowl. Stir in segments and remaining tablespoon sugar. Garnish cake with some segments; serve with the rest. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• To prepare the cake:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F [180 degrees C]. Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before beginning the recipe.
• Spray an 8-inch [20-cm] round cake pan with cooking spray. Cut a round of parchment or waxed paper to fit the bottom of the pan. Smooth the paper into the pan, spray with cooking spray, and coat the bottom and sides with flour. Set aside.
• Combine the cocoa and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pour in the boiling water and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, oil, corn syrup, applesauce, egg yolk, vanilla and orange zest. Add the chocolate mixture and mix thoroughly.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, soda and salt. Stir the dry ingredients gently into the chocolate mixture.
• Make sure the bowl and whip attachment of your electric mixer are perfectly clean and grease-free. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle the sugart slowly over the top, one tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until the whites are stiff but not dry.
• Stir a large spoonful of beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites in two steps.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for twenty minutes, then tip out of the pan onto another rack to cool completely. The cake will fall slightly as it cools. This cake is best served the same day it is baked, but if you allow it to cool completely and then wrap it carefully, it will be find the next day.
• To prepare the sauce:.
• Yogurt Cheese: Place 1 1/2 cups yogurt in a strainer lined with a coffee filter, muslin or paper towel. Place the strainer over a bowl. Refrigerate overnight. The liquid will drain from the yogurt and you will be left with a creamy cheese mixture.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt cheese, milk, orange juice concentrate, syrup, orange zest and lemon juice. Keep whisking until the sauce is perfectly smooth. This sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated.
• To serve: Cut the cake into eight wedges. Place a wedge on each dessert plate and top with a spoonful of sauce. Lay a few orange segments and a sprig of mint on the side. [Leftover cake will keep for a few days if wrapped in plastic.
