Winter Citrus Olive Oil Teacake

January 19, 2019 by Sophie 1 Comment

Raise your hand if you need cake in your life?!

I am having a major moment with blood oranges right now. They have such a lovely flavor, and the color that they lend to any dish is just so gorgeous.

This little teacake is super flavorful, and it has the most beautifully moist texture. Olive oil cakes often tend to be on the denser side, but this babe is so fluffy and light.

This would be perfect for brunch because it’s not too sweet! And it would go sooo well with mimosas. Blood orange mimosas. Yes yes yes.

Lovely olive oil teacake flavored with winter citrus.

You'll Need...

  • Cake:
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of crème fraîche, sour cream, or yogurt
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup blood orange juice
  • Zest of 2 blood oranges & 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Glaze:
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 9x5 loaf pan, or a specialty pan like I used. In a medium mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche and sugar. Add the eggs, zest, juice & vanilla and whisk until combined. Add the dry ingredients, and fold until incorporated. Whisk in the olive oil. Pour the batter into your pan, and bake for 30-35 minutes in a cake pan (or closer to 45-50 minutes in a loaf pan) until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs. Allow to cool while you make the glaze.
  2. Glaze: Whisk together all the glaze ingredients until smooth. Depan your cake when cool, and drizzle over the glaze. Let the glaze set a bit before serving.

Additional Notes

-I used the leftover crème fraîche and glaze from my ricotta cookies to make this cake, but I provided an easy powdered sugar glaze recipe for y'all.
-You can definitely use yogurt or sour cream instead of crème fraîche!

Doesn’t it just look so scrumptious? I think so.

I brought my cat with me to Pittsburgh from California after the holidays, and I can’t even begin to say how happy I am he’s here. I grew up with cats, so I always feel more at home when there’s a floof to snuggle with.

We’re slowly trying to train him to be on a harness and leash so when the weather warms up we can take him for walks.

Baking & cooking with him around is always a funny experience because he wants to be involved in everything. And he thinks all food should be his.

Anyways, I threw this cake together while he was napping and managed to do my full photoshoot without kitty interruptions.

We’re bunkered at home this weekend because there have been threats of a crazy snow storm! Eep.

FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🤍 Chocolate orange rye sourdou FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🤍 Chocolate orange rye sourdough all painted up. 🌼🍫🍊 I used some fresh milled rye flour in this loaf, along with extra dark cocoa powder, fresh orange zest, honey and chocolate chunks. 🤤

I’m not the best at painting, but I’ve been wanting to try something like this since I saw @sleepingmakesmehungry beautiful floral loaves a while back, and @lovealldesignco more recently. 🎨🌸🤍

I used food dye gel mixed with a little water as the paint, scored with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame & baked in my @challengerbreadware pan as always. 🌾🍫🍞

I ❤️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to sha I ❤️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to share this small batch marmalade recipe I make each year. The perfect accompaniment to toast with salted butter. Toast is truly one of my favorite foods, and I love making jams & preserves to enjoy with fresh bread. 🍊🧈🍞 Also, this beautiful wood serving board is by my very talented brother @jeffremer! 🤍

Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade: (Makes 1 pint)

300g blood oranges (2-3 oranges)
1/2 lemon
300g water
250g granulated sugar

Peel the oranges and 1/2 lemon, and slice the rind into thin strips and pieces. Remove the seeds from the fruit, slice into smaller chunks and set aside.

Combine the peels and water in a stainless steel pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the peels are tender. You may need to add more water as necessary.

Add the sugar and the fruit to the pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 6-8 minutes until the syrup thickens. 

Transfer to a pint jar and allow to cool uncovered before covering and storing in the fridge.

A quilty wheat stalk pattern for the #mywheatstalk challenge by @artbreadlove. 🌾🤍 I love this quilty pattern because it’s such a fun one to score, and even with little variations it always bakes up beautifully.

Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to d Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to do a single slash loaf. I’m always tempted to score a more complex design, but I tend to keep it simple with slashing inclusion loaves. 🌾🍞

This was a delicious cranberry & roasted chestnut bread I made with some beautiful flours from @bartonspringsmill in atx. 🤍🌾 Used their purple straw wheat & rouge de Bordeaux. Slathered a slice in some softened butter with flaky sea salt for a go-to snack. Also had to flag the two quick 🐈🐈‍⬛ cameos!
