Fresh orange juice and zest flavor this simple olive oil cake.

# Ingredients:

Ingredients

01 - 220 g all-purpose flour
02 - 160 g sugar
03 - 3 large eggs
04 - 120 ml mild olive oil
05 - 120 ml fresh orange juice
06 - 2 tsp orange zest
07 - 2 tsp baking powder
08 - ¼ tsp salt

# Instructions:

01 - Heat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease a 22 cm / 9-inch round cake pan and line the base with parchment.
02 - Whisk eggs and sugar for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened and paler. Whisk in olive oil in a slow stream.
03 - Whisk in orange juice and zest. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
04 - Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients just until smooth, scraping the bottom of the bowl. Do not beat after adding flour.
05 - Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–45 minutes until golden, the center springs back gently and a skewer comes out without wet batter.
06 - Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then unmold onto a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve plain to enjoy the orange flavor.
07 - Wrap the cooled cake and keep in a cool room for up to three days. Freeze slices individually for longer storage.

# Good to know:

01 - Includes 45 minutes resting or cooling time.
