Haven't tried this but looks yummy and most of his recipes are. Ingredients:
6 medium oranges |
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
4 eggs |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sugar |
1 1/4 cups flour (high gluten preferred, such as bread flour) |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and oil a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Remove zest from all oranges and juice from one. Set fruit aside for another use.
3. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat eggs and salt together until frothy and light (about 2 minutes).
4. Slowly add sugar while continuing to mix (about 2 more minutes).
5. Sift the flour and baking soda together and gradually add to egg mixture. Mix about 1 more minute.
6. In a side bowl, mix olive oil, citrus zest and juice. Using a spoon, stir this into the egg mixture, just folding until all inches.
7. Pour batter into prepared pan and place in oven and bake 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
8. Cool to room temperature, cut into wedges and serve.
