Equipment

  • 8" cake pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • sifter
  • Rubber spatula
  • 2 medium bowl

Materials

  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 110 g almond flour
  • 14 g baking powder
  • 150 g large eggs( around 3 eggs)
  • 100 g orange juice(1 orange)
  • 80 g buttermilk
  • 225 g granulated sugar
  • 150 g extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by brushing the sides and bottom with olive oil, then dust it with flour, removing any excess. Then line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper to help it release after baking.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and give it a quick whisk.
  • In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine eggs, sugar, and orange zest. Turn on the mixer and beat the egg mixture double in size and look light and fluffy.
  • Add the orange juice and buttermilk and continue beating until the mixture is smooth.
  • With the mixer running on low, start slowly pouring the olive oil. Once it is fully incorporated, add the sifted dry ingredients and mix until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with granulated sugar.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F/170°C for 35/45 minutes or until inserting a skewer comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and place it on a wire rack for 20 minutes to cool down. To unmold, run a knife between the cake and the pan edges. Then, invert the cake on a plate and flip it again to have the crackly side up top.
  • Serve with powdered sugar and a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
