Ingredients
Scale
- 2 whole oranges
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Wash the oranges and cut them into quarters, removing any seeds.
- Blend the quarters of oranges in a blender or food processor until smooth to create a puree.
- Combine the orange puree, sugar, and eggs in a large mixing bowl and mix until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the olive oil while mixing to combine evenly.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into 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.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
Ensure the oranges are well washed before blending. Can substitute olive oil with melted coconut oil.
