Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 1/2 Cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- Dash of Salt
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 Small Seedless Oranges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch spring-form pan.
- Cut off a small slice of the thicker top and bottom parts of each orange. Discard these pieces.
- Cut the rest of the oranges (flesh and peel) into chunks.
- Place the orange chunks in a food processor and puree until blended but with some texture left.
- Add the oil to the oranges and pulse until blended.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Slowly add in the granulated sugar while you beat.
- Add the egg mixture in three parts, alternating with the orange mixture. Stir just until combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool before slicing.
Notes
Use ripe, sweet oranges for best taste. Do not over mix after adding the egg mix. Use mild olive oil to avoid strong flavors.
