Olive oil & blood orange cake
Cakes
Adapted from Maialino's Olive Oil cake as part of Recipe Off-Roading, I wanted a cake whose grassy, summertime olive oil flavour would play off of the soft floral sweetness of blood oranges. Already not a particularly kid-friendly cake, I added a good glug of Cointreau to both the cake and the syrup to make it more of an afternoon snack than a breakfast treat. The finished product is a perfect treat for any time you can get your hands on blood oranges, with just the right balance of fragrant, subtle flavours that are better together than the sum of their parts would have you believe.
