- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, add the orange zest and sugar and use your fingers to rub the orange zest into the sugar for at least 30 seconds to infuse the sugar with orange flavor.
- In the same large bowl with the orange zest and sugar, add in eggs, orange juice, yogurt, vanilla extract and almond extract. Whisk together until well-combined and smooth.
