Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated orange zest, plus 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a standard 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Spray the inside with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine olive oil, milk, and sugar in a large bowl and whisk together for 2 minutes. Add eggs, orange zest, and orange juice, continue to whisk for 1 more minute.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk the batter until well combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Place into the oven and bake until the cake is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Remove the cake once it's done. Let cool 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days.
