Ingredients: (Serves 4)
<\/strong>1 blood orange, very thinly sliced
\u2153 cup caster sugar, plus \u00bc cup extra
1 cinnamon quill
2 star anise
4 cardamom pods, bruised
\u2154 cup almond meal
\u2153 cup self-raising flour
\u00bc cup reduced-fat Greek yoghurt, plus \u00bd cup extra to serve
\u00bc cup olive oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 180\u00b0C (fan-forced). Grease four one-cup capacity ramekins with cooking oil spray.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Place \u2153 cup caster sugar, cinnamon quill, star anise, cardamon pods and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the sugar has melted, add blood orange slices and simmer for 10 minutes or until peel becomes soft and semi-translucent. Remove orange slices and if necessary, continue to simmer syrup until it has thickened and reduced to a drizzling consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Combine almond meal, flour, and remaining \u00bc cup caster sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together \u00bd cup yoghurt, olive oil, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients before pouring in the yoghurt mixture. Gently fold until just combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Divide orange sliced between prepared ramekins, then pour over cake batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. To serve, turn cakes out onto four serving plates. Drizzle over reserved syrup, then finish with a dollop of extra Greek yoghurt and pistachios.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
