Blood orange olive oil cake
Cakes
Delicious adaptation of Maialino's Olive Oil Cake, flavored with 4 types of orange: zest, juice, Grand Marnier and Blood Orange infused olive oil. Followed the instructions on Food52 website with the exception of using a 9" springform pan, which unfortunately leaked a little batter. Luckily I had it placed on a rimmed cookie sheet and didn't lose much, maybe 1/4 cup of the batter. Next time I will wrap foil around bottom and up the sides. Ingredient changes -- after reading comments, I first reduced the total amount of olive oil to 1 cup from 1+1/3 cup and substituted a blood orange infused olive oil for 1/2 cup (110g). I also reduced the amount of sugar from 1+3/4 cup to 1 cup (200g), which was plenty sweet enough. Served with vanilla ice cream on the side to house guests after dinner and everyone raved about the experiment! Moist, seems like it will keep for several days if well hidden(!). Wonderful served with ice cream, would also be great with fruit or whipped cream.
