Description

This Orange Olive Oil Cake is a deliciously moist and tender dessert, bursting with the bright, fresh flavor of oranges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large oranges, zested
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (237ml) olive oil
  • ½ cup (118ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ½ cup (118ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) springform or cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the granulated sugar and orange zest together until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  4. Slowly add the eggs to the sugar and orange zest mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Increase the speed to high and whip for 4-5 minutes until the batter is thick and light yellow in color.
  5. With the mixer on medium speed, stream in the olive oil. Once all the oil is added, increase the speed to high for one more minute.
  6. On low speed, add the orange juice and milk, then gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with sugar (optional). Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then gently release the springform pan and let the cake cool for an additional 5-10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with orange slices before serving.
