Orange Olive Oil Cake – Fit Foodie Finds

This Orange Olive Oil Cake is bursting with bright orange flavor in every bite! Fresh orange juice, zest, and star anise are incorporated into the batter and finished off with candied orange zest. If you enjoyed our popular orange loaf cake, you’ll love this one too! As winter transitions into spring, my craving for citrus treats kicks in. This cake, served on Easter, was a hit with my whole family. It’s easy to make, with a simple batter and a zesty orange sugar topping. Moist and flavorful, this cake is a perfect spring dessert. Ingredients like all-purpose flour, star anise, brown sugar, olive oil, vanilla extract, fresh oranges, almond milk, and granulated sugar come together to create this delightful treat. For best results, juice fresh oranges and opt for unsweetened milk. Don’t have star anise? Cinnamon works as a substitute. Avoid using orange slices on top of the cake, as they can turn bitter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for later. Pair this cake with a hot coffee, smoothie, or cocktail for a deliciously citrusy experience. Try this recipe and bring a burst of orange flavor to your table!
