Gluten Free Orange Olive Oil Cake
This is my take on Giada’s Sorrento Olive Oil Cake. I love olive oil cake made with maple sugar because the end result is rich and not too sweet. If you don’t have orange olive oil see notes for adjustments.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare 8 or 9” round pan by coating with oil. Put a parchment paper round in bottom of pan. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl add eggs and sugar. Whip for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add baking powder, salt, milk, and olive oil. Whip to combine well.
- Slowly add in flour and orange zest. Hand mix to combine until flour is incorporated.
- Pour into pan.
- Bake for 27-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and it is firm to the touch.
- Let cool in pan for at least 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine powdered sugar and orange juice. Stir. Adjust sugar or juice to get the consistency you like for the glaze. When the cake is cool drizzle the glaze on top.
Notes
If you don’t have orange olive oil then use a quality olive oil and add 1/4 cup orange juice to cake batter along with the milk and oil. Adjust the milk down by 1/4 cup. For a fun twist I used Aperol in the glaze: use 1 Tbsp Aperol, 1 Tbsp orange juice. There is a chemical reaction and the bright orange of the Aperol turns a pretty peach color in the sugar.
