Olive Oil Cake Recipe
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for coating the pan
- 1/4 cup amaretto liqueur, such as Disaronno
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
- 1/2 cup coarse-ground cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for garnish
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with olive oil and flour; tap out the excess.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well blended and light in color.
- Add the milk, measured olive oil, amaretto, and orange zest and mix well.
- In another bowl, stir together the measured flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended (the batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix).
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs, about 40 to 50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cake has cooled, run a knife around the perimeter of the pan and invert the cake onto a serving plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar, cut into 12 pieces, and serve.
