Orange Olive Oil Cake

Here’s how to quietly impress any guest you invite over…

  • Pour 200ml of olive oil into a large bowl…

  • Zest in an entire orange

  • Crack in 4 eggs and 1tsp of vanilla

  • Add 200g of sugar and 3 tbsp of poppy seeds

  • Finish with 275g of flour and a tsp of baking powder

  • Whisk it all up

  • Pour into a lined tine (loaf or cake work)

  • Bake for 50 mins at 350f or 170c

As your cake bakes…

  • Take that orange we zested and squeeze the juice into a small bowl

  • Add 1 cup of icing sugar

  • Mix it all up

When your cake is baked..

  • Use a skewer to poke holes in the top - poke to different depths of the cake

  • pour that lovely orange drizzle we made all over, let it seep into the holes

  • let cool and then remove from tin

Serve…

  • With a dollop of cream and a little extra zest
