How to Make Indulgent Orange-Cardamom Olive Oil Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then mix in the olive oil, fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring softly until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
