Spiced Orange Olive Oil Cake Recipes

ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F, add a circle of parchment paper to the base of a 9-inch springform pan, and spray the parchment paper and the sides of the pan very well with cooking spray; set aside. Do not make this cake in a regular 9-inch cake pan. Most are only about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep and this cake rises to about 2 1/2 to 3 inches on the sides and nearly 4 inches in the center. It will overflow in a regular 9-inch pan.
• To a large bowl, add the olive oil, eggs, and whisk well to emulsify and incorporate.
• Add the milk, orange zest, orange juice (I was able to get sufficient zest and juice from one large orange), Grand Marnier, and whisk to incorporate.
• Add the sugar and whisk to incorporate.
• Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and whisk until just incorporated; don't overmix. The batter in on the thin side; this is normal.
• Turn batter out into prepared pan, place pan on a baking sheet as insurance against a leaky springform pan, and bake for about 70 to 75 minutes. Start checking after 60 minutes since all ovens vary. Cake will be golden browned and domed in the center when done, and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. **
• Allow cake to cool in the springform pan for about 1 hour before releasing it and allowing the cake to finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar prior to serving.

SPICED OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the dry cake ingredients, including ground spices. In another bowl, whisk the oil, milk, eggs, rum, orange zest and juice until smooth.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. To prevent clumps, stir together starting from the center of the bowl, gradually drawing in the dry ingredients. Mix just until smooth. The batter will be thick. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 1 hour, rotating after 30 minutes. When done, the cake will be just firm and dry on top and a tester inserted into the center will come out clean.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a measuring cup with a pouring spout, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons orange juice until smooth. The texture should be runny; add more orange juice if needed.
• Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out. While it is still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top, making messy, Jackson Pollock-style zigzags by moving the cup back and forth over the cake. Let cool completely to set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Mix together the sugar and eggs in a medium bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until blended and light. Drizzle in the olive oil and vanilla and mix until light and smooth. Add the orange juice and zest and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another medium bowl. Add the flour mixture half at a time to the wet ingredients and mix on low just to incorporate. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the cake cool 15 minutes, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil. Lower the orange in and cover with a lid, leaving a gap so that a little steam can still escape. Boil gently for 30 mins, then remove from the water and allow to cool slightly. Quarter the orange and remove any pips, then transfer to a blender or food processor, add the lemon juice and zest and blitz to a smooth purée.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil the sides of a 23cm round cake tin and line the bottom of the tin with baking parchment.
• Sieve the almonds, polenta, baking powder and ½ tsp salt into a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Whisk the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until really pale and fluffy, about 4 mins. With the mixer still whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream so that the mixture doesn't split. Once incorporated, scrape in the orange purée and whisk to combine, then add the dry ingredients, combining until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 55 mins to 1 hr 5 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin on a wire rack while you make the syrup. Combine the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, cardamom and 30ml water in a pan. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then add the rosemary. Turn off the heat and infuse for at least 30 mins.
• Use a skewer to poke holes in the top of the cake, then pour over the syrup. Allow to settle for 5 mins or so, then slice and serve with some natural yogurt or crème fraîche, if you like.

OLIVE OIL ORANGE CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and orange zest. Let sit for 30-60 minutes to allow the orange oils to perfume the sugar, which will enhance the flavor of the cake.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the eggs to the orange-infused sugar. Using an electric hand mixer on medium speed, beat together until smooth and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the Greek yogurt, orange juice, vanilla, and olive oil and beat on medium-low speed until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 batches and mix on low speed until just combined. The batter should be thick, but smooth, and fall off the beaters in thick ribbons.
• Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan with olive oil. Line the bottom with a parchment paper round and lightly grease with more oil. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before inverting the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper and flip right-side up.
• Dust the top of the cake with the powdered sugar, then slice and serve with whipped cream alongside, if desired.
• Enjoy!
