Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract (or vanilla extract)
  • zest and juice of 1 orange

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. and lightly spray an 8-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and set aside.
  • Using a stand or hand mixer in a medium bowl cream together the eggs and sugar until they are well blended and thick. Add the olive oil and vanilla and beat until the batter is smooth.
