Orange Rosemary Olive Oil Cake

Orange Rosemary Olive Oil Cake is perfect for the holidays, especially Chanukah! I love the combo of peppery olive oil, sweet and zesty orange and woody rosemary. This olive oil cake has a unique fruity and peppery flavour from olive oil. Olive oil is anti-inflammatory and a great alternative to butter in baking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • ½ cup almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 5 cups spelt flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tbsp orange zest

Orange Glaze

  • 1/3 cup coconut butter
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 300°F. Grease a bunt pan with coconut oil and lightly coat with flour and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat olive oil and sugar. Slowly add in eggs until thick. Add orange juice, almond milk, and vanilla and beat until combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix spelt flour, baking powder, rosemary and orange zest.
  4. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat until combined.
