Ingredients

  • Nonstick spray or canola oil, for greasing the pan
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (58 g) plain yogurt
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 3/4 cup (175 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cups (208 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons (28 g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups (210 g) powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
  • Zest of 1/2 orange (for glaze, optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh orange juice (for glaze, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for glaze, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and generously grease a Bundt pan with nonstick spray or canola oil.
  2. In a blender, combine the eggs, granulated sugar, olive oil, yogurt, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and emulsified.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Pour in half of the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk for about 1 minute.
  5. Add the remaining wet mixture and whisk until no dry flour remains, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To make the optional glaze, whisk powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and olive oil until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Use mild olive oil to avoid overpowering the orange flavor.
  • Ensure the Bundt pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
  • The cake can be made without a blender using vigorous whisking.
  • For extra flavor, try substituting half the orange juice with mandarin juice.
  • The cake tastes even better the next day as flavors deepen.
