Marissa's MediterraneanA light, golden cake infused with zesty orange and floral honey, using olive oil for a perfectly tender crumb.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a little olive oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the honey until the mixture is slightly pale and frothy.
Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the fats with the eggs.
Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until fragrant and smooth.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Finish with a drizzle of honey.
The olive oil makes this cake incredibly moist without the heaviness of butter. For the best flavor, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil—you'll actually taste the fruity notes! Pour a little extra honey over the top just before serving for that perfect shine.
