Olive Oil Old Fashioned Cake


Ingredients:


For the cake:

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 2/3 cup sugar

  • 2 1/2 cups flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • ¼ cup Bourbon

  • ½ cup Blood Orange Olive Oil (or 1/4 cup olive oil, ¼ cup oj)

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • Sweetened Whipped Cream

  • Cherries, optional

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 10” deep round cake pan, fit with parchment then butter and flour parchment. Set aside.

2. Beat eggs in a large bowl with a mixer, using the whisk attachment, until frothy. Gradually add sugar and beat on high speed until mixture is pale and leaves a ribbon when you lift the whisk.

3. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk milk & oils together in a large measuring cup, and set aside.

4. Add one-third of dry ingredients, then half of wet ingredients to egg mixture, beating after each addition until smooth. Continue until all is added and stop a couple of times to scrape the bowl and incorporate all ingredients.

5. Pour batter into prepared pan and set in oven. Bake until cake pulls away from pan and a toothpick comes out clean, 30-45 minutes.

6. Using a pastry brush, liberally brush the bourbon over the cake. Let rest for 10 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan and cool on a cooling rack.

7. After cake has cooled, top with sweetened whipped cream and garnish with cherries if desired.
