ORANGE & OLIVE OIL CAKE


Ingredients

4 to 5 large oranges

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 3/4 teaspoons salt

5 large eggs

3 cups granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil

 3 tablespoon tooti-fruity


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking tray with baking sheet and gently butter in all sides of pan and set aside.

Finely grate the zest of 3 oranges and then squeeze the juice from 4 of them. You should have 1 1/2 cups orange juice; if not, squeeze the 5th orange.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

In the bowl beat the eggs on medium-high speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the granulated sugar and continue to beat until thick and pale yellow, about 3-4 minutes. Switch to low speed and alternate adding the flour mixture and the oil, starting and ending with the flour and beating until just a few wisps of flour remain. Pour in the orange juice and zest and whirl for a few seconds to bring the batter together.

Gently scrape the batter into the prepared pan sprinkle tooti-fruity on the top and bake until a cake tester comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, about 35-40minutes.  When the cake is done, transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

Serve with coffee or tea.
