Olive oil in a cake? Yes, it works and the passion fruit juice is a great flavor, too! Ingredients:
5 medium eggs |
6 oz golden caster sugar |
2 oz light olive oil |
6 oz plain flour |
2 tbsp icing sugar |
4 passion fruit, halved, seeds seived and juice reserved |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Grease and line a 9 inch springform pan with baking paper, or grease and flour a bundt pan.
3. Use an electric mixer to whisk the eggs for about 3 minutes until pale and thick.
4. Add the caster sugar and whisk until the mixture triples in size so it is pale, thick, foamy and leaves a trail when you lift out the beaters.
5. Continue to whisk on a high speed while you add the olive oil, drop by drop.
6. Sift the flour onto the mixture and fold in gently with a spoon.
7. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until the cake is golden, springy and shrinking away from the sides.
8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
9. Sprinkle the cake with sifted icing sugar, slice and serve with passion fruit juice drizzled around each plate.
