Instructions
 

Orange Ginger Olive Oil Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

  • In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, and eggs until well combined.
  • Stir in the buttermilk, molasses, fresh orange juice, orange extract, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Fold in the orange zest.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.

Whipped Citrus Mascarpone

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone, Milk, vanilla extract, orange extract, and powdered sugar.
  • Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread frosting over the top of one cake layer.
  • Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides as desired.
  • Chill in the refrigerator before serving for best flavor.

Notes

Keep a close eye on the cake to avoid overbaking; it’s better to slightly underbake than overbake, as the cake will continue to cook while cooling.
Use premium high-quality olive oil.
Chilling this cakes bring more flavor into each bite.
