Did some research for a Portuguese dessert and this cake came up in two places. Recipe for Orange-Olive Oil Cake. “This Portuguese orange olive oil cakehas an unforgettably tender crumb and a citrus smack thanks to fruity olive oil, winter navel oranges, and orange zest.”
I went across the Allegheny River to Labriola’s and bought a new Zoe Olive Oil as recommended in the recipe. Fresh eggs. And five navel oranges were five dollars at Whole You-Know-What.
Zested three oranges and squeezed four to get 1 1/2 c of juice.
Used a tube pan as I did not have a light colored bundt pan. Baked it 1 1/4 hours.
Make it at least a day before serving. I did.
Will let you know what the verdict is after Friday night dessert. I usually don’t make a new recipe to share, untested.
