  • 2tea­spoonsbak­ing pow­der

  • 1/2tspsalt

  • 3large eggs

  • 1cupgran­u­lated sugar

  • 1/2cupfruity extra vir­gin olive oil

  • 1whole orange, zested

  • 2tea­spoonsvanilla extract

  • 1/2cupmilk

  • 1cupfresh blue­ber­ries

  • 1table­spoonflour, for coat­ing the blue­ber­ries

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9‑inch spring­form bak­ing pan.
  • In a large mix­ing bowl, add the flour, bak­ing pow­der and salt. Mix to com­bine.
  • In another large bowl, cream together your eggs and sugar. Drizzle in your olive oil. Add orange zest and vanilla and mix to com­bine.
  • Alternate adding your dry ingre­di­ents with your milk into the wet ingre­di­ents, begin­ning and end­ing with the flour.
  • Once the bat­ter is just com­bined, add your blue­ber­ries to a bowl with 1 table­spoon of flour. This will keep the blue­ber­ries from sink­ing to the bot­tom of the cake.
  • Fold the blue­ber­ries into the cake bat­ter. Pour the bat­ter into the pre­pared cake pan.
  • Bake at 350 for 35 – 40 min­utes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow to cool com­pletely before remov­ing from the pan and serv­ing.

Notes

  • Instead of blue­ber­ries, use 1 cup of any fresh fruit you like!
