This cake is very easy and so delicious!!
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp grated fresh orange zest
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350, and grease a tube or bundt pan very well.
Stir together flour, baking powder and orange zest, and set aside.
Beat sugar, oil and eggs for about 1 minute and 30 seconds until pale. Add orange juice, and beat for 30 seconds. On low speed, add flour mixture gradually, and beat until just combined, no more than 1 minute. Do not overmix.
Transfer batter to pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, and then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
Optionally, you can add a glaze to the top by mixing confectioners sugar with just enough orange juice to make a pourable consistency.
This cake is served with tea at the Rocca Delle Tre Contrade in Sicily
