Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Orange Olive Oil Cake Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, take a moment to lightly grease and flour a loaf pan.
Step 3
This little step ensures your delicious creation won’t stick when it’s time to serve.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they’re light and frothy, like a fluffy cloud.
Step 5
Gradually add in the sugar, olive oil, fragrant orange zest, and a sprinkle of Chinese five-spice powder.
Step 6
Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and well combined, letting those delightful flavors mingle.
Step 7
Now, gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 8
Remember, it’s okay if there are a few lumps; we want to keep it tender, so don’t overmix! Once your batter is ready, pour it into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to ensure a lovely rise.
Step 9
Place it in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, revealing that perfect texture.
Step 11
After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 12
This is the moment to savor the aroma wafting through your kitchen! Carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Enjoy the anticipation as you wait to slice into your homemade delight!.
