1

Mix flour and baking soda in a medium-small bowl. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease 9x9x2 inch pan.
2

Put yogurt, molasses*, orange peel**, apple, and salt in a blender. Blend until liquefied. Add eggs and blend a few more seconds.
3

In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and the mandarin orange slices. Heat in microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, or until melted enough to mix easily.
4

Transfer wet ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients and blend until smooth. The batter will be rather thin. Pour batter into pan. Use a spoon it to dab the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter.
5

Cook 35-45 min, until done.

Notes:
*Blackstrap molasses is recommended for highest calcium content. The Plantation Blackstrap Molasses I use lists 20% of calcium daily requirements per tablespoon. Based on the ingredients I use, and 9 servings, the calcium content per servings is almost 25% and the calories per serving about 160.
**I usually use about half an orange peel instead of just the zest.
