This recipe is adapted from one in Baking A Common Sense Guide. I have made a few minor changes to it. I bake it in a greased 8 silicone bundt pan, but the original recipe said to bake it in an 8 round cake pan. You can mix this up with just a whisk & silicone or rubber spatula. Dust it lightly with some powdered sugar or drizzle an orange glaze over it. I served it with a spoonful of whipped cream & some fresh blackberries. It would be nice with blueberries or strawberries as well. I hope you enjoy it. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 orange, zest of |
1 lemon, zest of |
1/2 cup olive oil (extra virgin works fine in this) |
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (top up with milk if you don't have enough juice from your orange) |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. Whisk eggs & sugar together till well combined.
2. Add orange & lemon zest.
3. Stir in olive oil & orange juice.
4. Stir flour & baking powder in with silicone spatula, do not over mix, batter will be slightly lumpy.
5. Pour into greased 8 bundt or round cake pan.
6. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
7. Cool in pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto wire rack.
