Description
A moist and flavorful Orange Olive Oil Cake with Rosemary, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the granulated sugar, olive oil, fresh orange juice, and orange zest, mixing until smooth.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped rosemary and pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- Replace granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
- Use lemon juice instead of orange juice for a different citrus flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, ensure your olive oil is pure and free from any dairy additives.
