Olive Oil Orange Cake
Desserts
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 3⁄4 cup (350g) sugar
1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (285g) extra-virgin olive oil
1½ cups (305g) whole milk
3 large eggs
1 1⁄2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1⁄4 cup (60g) fresh orange juice
1⁄4 cup (55g) Grand Marnier
1 teaspoon vanilla
Heat oven to 350° F. Oil, butter, or spray a 9-inch spring form cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. (If your cake pan is less than 2 inches deep, divide between 2 pans and start checking for doneness at 30 minutes.)
In a bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and powder. In another bowl, whisk the olive oil, milk, eggs, orange zest and juice, vanilla, and Grand Marnier. Add the dry ingredients; whisk until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared spring form pan and bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden and a cake tester comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack and let cool for 30 minutes.
Run a knife around the edge of the pan, pop off ring, let cool completely, 2 hours.
