Easy Gluten-Free Orange Olive Oil Cake
Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar (160g)
Zest of two navel oranges (20g)
3 eggs (150g)
Juice of two navel oranges (160g)
2/3 cup olive oil (130g)
1 1/2 cups GF all purpose flour (260g)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
confectioners sugar for topping
Steps:
Preheat the oven to 350°F, prepare one 9-inch cake pan with olive oil.
Combine the granulated sugar and orange zest. Using your fingers, rub the zest into the sugar until it is fragrant and the sugar has taken on the orange color.
Whisk together the sugar mixture and eggs until frothy.
Add the orange juice and olive oil and mix to combine.
In another bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Fold the flour mixture into the wet mix and pour into a prepared pan.
Bake at 350°F for about 35 min.
Top with confectioners sugar and enjoy!
Chef’s note:
I like to serve mine with a whipped crème fraîche! I usually do 1:1 parts heavy cream and crème fraîche and 1 tbsp of sugar per cup of liquid! I don’t like mine very sweet, but you can easily adjust based on your taste.
