Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 1 minute
Servings 12 people

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (17½oz/497g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ¾ teaspoons salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 cups granulated sugar (24oz/675g)
  • 1 ½ cups extra virgin olive oil (12floz/340ml)
  • 1 ½ cups orange juice (12floz/340ml)
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • Powdered sugar for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
  • In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat eggs and sugar on high for about three minutes, until pale and fluffy.
  • Pour in the olive oil, orange juice, and lemon zest and beat until fully combined.
  • Add the flour mixture in three increments, scraping down the sides of the bowl each time to ensure even mixing.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake on a middle rack of your oven for about 75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. (If the top starts to brown before the cake is done, cover the top loosely with foil.)
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to two months.
