Zucchi Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cake:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups Zucchi Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk

• 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

-Heat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.

-Whisk together the following ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, milk, eggs, orange zest, and fresh OJ.

 -Add the dry ingredients to liquid batter and mix well.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes-1 hour; you’ll know when it is ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
