This simple, lemon and orange scented Olive Oil Cake is so delicious! It has a perfect sponge like texture, and stays moist for days! My family loves it! Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Ingredients for Cake:
1 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
4 Egg Whites
2 Whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Olive Oil
Zest of 1 Orange
Zest of 1 Lemon
Ingredients for Icing:
1 cup Icing (Powdered) Sugar
Juice of 1 Orange & 1 Lemon
Instructions to Make Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and grease your 8 or 9 inch cake pan by brushing with olive oil and dusting with flour.
- Sift together all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt).
- In separate bowl, whip the white of 4 eggs and set aside.
- In a larger bowl, with a hand mixer or a stand mixer (or by hand), whisk the eggs, sugar & vanilla extract until thick. Add the orange and lemon zest.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients alternating with the oil until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in the egg whites with a spatula.
- Pour batter into cake pan and bake for 30 to 45 minutes (depending on your oven). It is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it ret in pan for 10-15 minutes, then flip over onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Once cool, drizzle with icing or dust with powdered sugar.
Instructions to Make Icing:
- Add juice of freshly squeezed orange and lemon a little at a time to powdered sugar to reach desired consistency. It should be thick yet runny...and cake should be thoroughly cooled or icing will melt (and thin out). Let set and enjoy!
