Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup good quality olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- Zest of 2 large oranges
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Slowly stream in the olive oil while continuing to whisk constantly until fully incorporated.
- Whisk in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use a rich, fruity olive oil for the best flavor.
- For extra moisture, you can drizzle a simple syrup made of equal parts sugar and orange juice over the warm cake.
- Feel free to dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
