Description
A light and moist cake made with whole oranges and olive oil, perfect for snacks or small gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 1/2 Cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- Dash of Salt
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 Small Seedless Oranges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-inch spring-form pan.
- Cut off a small slice of the top and bottom of each orange and discard.
- Cut the oranges into chunks (flesh and peel) and place in a food processor. Puree until mostly blended with small bits remaining.
- Add olive oil to the orange mixture in the processor and pulse until blended.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add granulated sugar while beating.
- Add the egg mixture in three parts to the dry ingredients, alternating with the orange mixture. Stir only until just mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool before slicing.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for the best rise. Don’t over mix to maintain the cake’s airy texture.
