Ingredients

10 servings

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.75 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest (2 oranges)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Line the bottom of a springform pan with a round piece of parchment paper and generously grease with olive oil. Grease the sides of the pan with olive oil as well.
  • Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl; whisk together until evenly combined.
  • Combine eggs, sugar, olive oil, milk, honey, and orange zest in a second bowl. Starting slowly at first, whisk together until mixture is smooth. Stir in flour mixture until everything is just mixed together and flour has disappeared. Do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and tap pan a few times against the work surface to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is browned on the surface and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Make sure to not overbake.
  • Transfer cake to a wire rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Loosen edge of the cake by running a knife around the sides of the pan. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely, another 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!
