  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought without additives)
  • ⅓ cup unflavored and unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 2 oranges)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Optional

  • Organic powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time your batter is ready.
  2. Prepare the cake pan: Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a bit of olive oil, then dust it with flour to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, non-dairy milk, orange zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, organic granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
  5. Make the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until most lumps disappear. The batter does not need to be perfectly smooth.
  6. Pour and bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cake: Place the cake pan on a wire rack and let it cool completely before removing from the pan.
  8. Invert and serve: Carefully invert the cooled cake onto a serving plate. Optionally, dust the top with organic powdered sugar. Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy.

Notes

  • Check the ingredients label if using store-bought orange juice to ensure it contains no animal-derived additives.
  • If using freshly squeezed orange juice, about two medium-sized oranges will yield enough juice and zest.
