Ingredients

Serves : 6
  • 1 1⁄2 flour


  • 1 sugar


  • 1⁄2 baking soda


  • 1⁄2 baking powder


  • 1⁄4 kosher salt


  • 2 eggs


  • 3⁄4 cup whole milk


  • 1⁄2 olive oil


  • 2 orange zest

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325. Oil and flour a 9-inch loaf pan. Whisk first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, olive oil and orange zest to blend. Gradually whisk this into the flour mixture. Scrape into your loaf pan.
  • Bake about 60 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan, on rack, for 20 minutes, then cool completely on rack.
  • This would do well with a little orange or lemon chutney. Or even some whipped cream. Enjoy, friends!
