How to Make Grecian Orange Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, orange zest, orange juice, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
  7. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes all over the top using a toothpick or skewer.
  9. Slowly pour the glaze over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  10. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
