Posted by
Directions:
- Note: If you are in southern Europe and have access to Italian or Spanish blood oranges, use those; If not, California blood oranges are not a good substitute; You will have to forgo the color for the flavor of a tangelo or temple orange.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Thickly butter a tube pan and dust with flour.
- Note: You can also use a bundt pan, but make sure it is a heavy one-as heavy as your tube pan.
- Put flour, eggs, grated ornage peel, 4 tablespoons softened butter, sugar and ouzo in a food processor and process until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Add milk and baking powder and process again to incorporate.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan and place in upper level of pre-heated oven.
- Bake for at least 45 minutes, until top of cake becomes colored a rich gold.
- Place pan over a wine bottle or other receptacle to cool slightly.
- Loosen the edges of the cake with a sharp knife.
- Invert onto a plate.
- While cake is still warm, poke many holes into it, using a chopstick or similar implement.
- Pour the sweetened orange juice into the holes, filling them to the brim.
- Within an hour, the cake will have absorbed the juice.
- Serve at room temperature.
- Note: The cake will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator, fully covered by plastic wrap.
