Photo: Orange Olive Oil Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- MN0607HButter, for greasing the pan
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Juice and zest of 1 orange (about 3 tablespoons juice, 1 tablespoon zest)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix together the sugar and eggs in a medium bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until blended and light. Drizzle in the olive oil and vanilla and mix until light and smooth. Add the orange juice and zest and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another medium bowl. Add the flour mixture half at a time to the wet ingredients and mix on low just to incorporate. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the cake cool 15 minutes, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

I regularly read reviews - and depend on them for choosing which recipes to try - so I felt obliged to share my experience.I really wanted to love this recipe - because it was so easy to prepare. I followed the recipe exactly even though I was worried about the small amount of olive oil that it called for. Unfortunately for me, the cake was very dry and not a lot of flavor. I love orange olive oil cake - the one at Tender Green's is phenomenal.

Very tasty and easy to make. Turned them into cupcakes and they only make 9. Love the fact that there is only sugar and OO in them and they come out tasting delish!

Easy, easy, easy! I made this for Christmas dessert and it was perfect. I added a little more orange juice and zest and had whipped cream on the side. So good!
