Instructions
Creating the Citrus Olive Oil Cake with Honey and Figs is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the olive oil, sugar, and honey until well mixed. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Add Flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and orange zest, stirring to combine.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Figs: Gently fold in the chopped figs, being careful not to break them up too much.
7. Pour Into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top.
8. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Before serving, lightly dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired.
Following these steps will ensure you create a lovely Citrus Olive Oil Cake with Honey and Figs that is both beautiful and delicious.
