Citrusy Italian Olive Oil Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest (2 oranges)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
1
Gather all the necessary ingredients before commencing with the recipe. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric measurements).
2
Next, take a round piece of parchment paper and line the bottom of your springform pan. Subsequently, generously grease both the bottom and sides of the pan with olive oil.
3
In a separate bowl, combine four basic ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk these dry components together until they are evenly blended.
4
In a different bowl, combine six key ingredients: eggs, sugar, olive oil, milk, honey, and orange zest. Begin whisking these ingredients together slowly at first, gradually increasing the speed until you achieve a smooth mixture.
5
Now, incorporate your dry ingredients into your wet mixture and gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
6
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and gently tap it against the work surface a few times to eliminate any air bubbles.
7
Place your cake in the preheated oven and bake until it is golden brown on top, and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This should take 60 to 70 minutes, but be sure not to overbake.
8
Once the cake is done, transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool for 30 minutes. To release the cake from its pan, run a knife around the edges of the springform and then carefully lift it out.
9
Finally, allow the cake to cool completely for another 30 minutes before dusting it with powdered sugar if desired. Your cake is now ready to be served and enjoyed!
