Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the cake pan
1/3 cup (75 grams) light brown sugar
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) water
2 blood oranges, divided
3/4 cup (150 grams) superfine/caster sugar
1/3 cup (90 milliliters) plain yogurt
2 eggs
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/3 cups (165 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
Creme fraiche, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a round loose-bottomed 9-inch (23-centimeter) cake pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and water to make a thick paste. Spread this thinly and evenly onto the base of the cake pan and set aside.
  • Zest 1 orange and add this to a large bowl with the superfine sugar. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips until the zest is evenly distributed. Set aside.
  • Slice both oranges as thinly as you can with the skin on and arrange the slices on top of the brown sugar base in the cake pan. You can cut some of the slices in half to create a different pattern and to fill in all the gaps.
  • Add the yogurt to the bowl with the superfine sugar and whisk briefly to combine. Whisk in the eggs and olive oil. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until smooth. Gently pour the batter on top of the orange slices, being careful not to disturb the oranges underneath.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sponge is firm to the touch and golden brown. Leave the cake in its pan to cool completely before attempting to turn it upside down. Serve with creme fraiche.

ROSEMARY, OLIVE OIL AND ORANGE CAKE



Rosemary, Olive Oil and Orange Cake image

This is a very light cake, similar to a lemon drizzle but with a ton more flavor. The rosemary and orange add delicious floral notes. A fluted Bundt pan looks especially nice. Prepare the crystallized rosemary sprigs at least 6 to 8 hours (or the day before) before serving the cake, which will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for up to three days.

Provided by Yotam Ottolenghi

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 small rosemary sprigs, no more than 1 inch/3 centimeters each in size (see note)
1 egg white, lightly whisked
2 teaspoons granulated or superfine sugar (caster sugar)
About 2 tablespoons/30 grams unsalted butter, softened, for greasing the pan
2 cups/240 grams all-purpose flour (plain flour), more to flour the pan
3/4 cup/160 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon/120 grams superfine sugar (caster sugar)
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (from about 1 1/2 oranges)
1 1/2 tablespoons/7 grams packed finely chopped rosemary leaves
2 large eggs
1/2 cup/130 grams sour cream
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 3/4 cups/175 grams sifted confectioners' sugar, or 1 1/2 cups/150 grams sifted icing sugar

Steps:

  • At least 6 hours before you plan to ice the cake, prepare the crystallized rosemary: Brush rosemary on all sides with a little of the egg white and then dip it in the sugar, so the needles are lightly coated on all sides. Set aside on a wire rack to dry. Repeat with remaining rosemary.
  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit/160 degrees Celsius. Generously grease a 9-inch/23-centimeter Bundt pan with half the butter and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Butter again, generously, and then flour it, tapping away the excess.
  • Put olive oil, superfine sugar, orange zest and chopped rosemary leaves in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until combined, then add eggs, one at a time. Whisk for another minute, until thick, then add sour cream and mix until combined on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the whisk.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into a small bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the olive oil mixture and mix until combined. Increase speed to high and whisk for 1 minute.
  • Scrape batter into the Bundt pan and smooth the top with a small spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cake is cooked and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. (You may want to trim the cake at this stage, if it rises unevenly, to allow it to sit flat on the plate.)
  • Prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice and confectioners' sugar until smooth. When the cake has cooled, drizzle icing on top, allowing it to drip down the sides of the cake, then top with the crystallized rosemary and serve.

BLOOD ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE



Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake image

There are cakes that can be made without turning on (or having to clean) the food processor or electric mixer. This is one of them. The recipe, inspired by Dorie Greenspan's extra-virgin olive oil cake, uses blood oranges, which leave the cut loaf dappled with ruby dots. It's a lovely presentation, but regular oranges could be used, too.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter for greasing pan
3 blood oranges
1 cup sugar
Buttermilk or plain yogurt
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Honey-blood orange compote, for serving, optional (see note)
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Grate zest from 2 oranges and place in a bowl with sugar. Using your fingers, rub ingredients together until orange zest is evenly distributed in sugar.
  • Supreme an orange: Cut off bottom and top so fruit is exposed and orange can stand upright on a cutting board. Cut away peel and pith, following curve of fruit with your knife. Cut orange segments out of their connective membranes and let them fall into a bowl. Repeat with another orange. Break up segments with your fingers to about 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Halve remaining orange and squeeze juice into a measuring cup. You will have about 1/4 cup or so. Add buttermilk or yogurt to juice until you have 2/3 cup liquid altogether. Pour mixture into bowl with sugar and whisk well. Whisk in eggs.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gently whisk dry ingredients into wet ones. Switch to a spatula and fold in olive oil a little at a time. Fold in pieces of orange segments. Scrape batter into pan and smooth top.
  • Bake cake for about 55 minutes, or until it is golden and a knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then unmold and cool to room temperature right-side up. Serve with whipped cream and honey-blood orange compote, if desired.

BLOOD ORANGE CHOCOLATE OLIVE OIL CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Blood Orange Chocolate Olive Oil Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: blood oranges, olive oil, all purpose flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda, kosher salt, organic sugar, filtered water, white vinegar, powdered sugar, pistachio

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 blood oranges
½ cup olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
⅔ cup dark cocoa powder, unsweetened
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ cups organic sugar
1 cup filtered water
1 ½ teaspoons white vinegar
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup pistachio, raw, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Zest all 5 blood oranges and divide between 3 separate small bowls: 2 bowls should contain the zest of 1 orange each, and 1 bowl should contain the zest of 3 oranges. Set aside the 2 bowls with less zest for later use.
  • Add the olive oil to the bowl with the zest of 3 oranges. Set aside for 30-60 minutes to infuse.
  • Juice 3 of the oranges and set aside 3 tablespoons of juice for the glaze. Reserve the remaining orange juice in a liquid measuring cup. You should have about ½ cup. (120 ML)
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚F).
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the sugar, blood orange olive oil (with the zest), ½ cup (120 ml) of the blood orange juice, water, and white vinegar. Whisk until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
  • Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8-9-inch (20-22 cm) round cake pan with olive oil, and place a parchment round in the bottom of the pan. (To make the parchment round, tear off an 18 x 13-inch (45x33 cm) piece of parchment paper. With a long edge closest to you, fold down the top right corner to meet the bottom edge. Press down on the long side of the triangle to flatten, then turn so that side is facing you and fold in half, bringing the points together. Turn again so the long side of the new triangle is on top and fold in half twice more. Flip the cake pan upside down and hold the pointy end of the triangle at the center of the pan. Trim the excess parchment that extends past the edge of the pan. Flip the pan, unfold the triangle, and place the parchment round in the bottom).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake bakes, prepare the toppings: Cut the top and the bottoms off the 2 remaining zested oranges. Using a paring knife, carefully remove the skin and pith from the oranges until you are left with just the flesh. Turn each orange on its side and cut into ¼-inch (6 mm) wide rounds. Place the rounds between 2 paper towels to blot some of the excess juice. This will allow them to stick to the glaze more effectively.
  • Make the glaze: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the reserved zest of 1 orange, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of blood orange juice. Whisk into a glaze. It should be thick, but spreadable.
  • Remove the cake from the oven. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet to cool completely.
  • Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Decorate the top with the orange slices, pistachios, and remaining orange zest.
  • Enjoy!

SPICED OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH ORANGE GLAZE



Spiced Olive Oil Cake With Orange Glaze image

This golden cake makes a persuasive case for baking with olive oil; it is fragrant, peppery and not overly sweet, with an orange glaze that brings all the flavors together. The recipe is from Lior Lev Sercarz, a high-end spice vendor in New York City who says that oil is even better than butter, the favorite of American bakers, at amplifying flavors like citrus and spice. See Tip for his instructions on using whole spices.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack, cakes, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray
1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground fennel, cardamom or coriander (see Tip)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (see Tip)
3/4 cup/180 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup/160 milliliters whole milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons dark rum
Freshly grated zest of 1 orange plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup/60 grams confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry cake ingredients, including ground spices. In another bowl, whisk the oil, milk, eggs, rum, orange zest and juice until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. To prevent clumps, stir together starting from the center of the bowl, gradually drawing in the dry ingredients. Mix just until smooth. The batter will be thick. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 1 hour, rotating after 30 minutes. When done, the cake will be just firm and dry on top and a tester inserted into the center will come out clean.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a measuring cup with a pouring spout, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons orange juice until smooth. The texture should be runny; add more orange juice if needed.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out. While it is still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top, making messy, Jackson Pollock-style zigzags by moving the cup back and forth over the cake. Let cool completely to set.

ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE



Orange olive oil cake image

Add some citrussy zing to your baking with this orange olive oil cake, topped with a rosemary and cardamom drizzle. It's gluten-free and super delicious

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h55m

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large whole seedless orange
½ lemon , juiced and zested
225ml olive oil , plus extra for the tin
200g ground almonds
120g polenta
1 tsp baking powder (use gluten-free if you need to)
3 large eggs
225g golden caster sugar
natural yogurt or crème fraîche, to serve (optional)
100g golden caster sugar
½ orange , juiced
½ lemon , juiced
6 cardamom pods , seeds removed and ground
4 rosemary sprigs

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of water to the boil. Lower the orange in and cover with a lid, leaving a gap so that a little steam can still escape. Boil gently for 30 mins, then remove from the water and allow to cool slightly. Quarter the orange and remove any pips, then transfer to a blender or food processor, add the lemon juice and zest and blitz to a smooth purée.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil the sides of a 23cm round cake tin and line the bottom of the tin with baking parchment.
  • Sieve the almonds, polenta, baking powder and ½ tsp salt into a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Whisk the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until really pale and fluffy, about 4 mins. With the mixer still whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream so that the mixture doesn't split. Once incorporated, scrape in the orange purée and whisk to combine, then add the dry ingredients, combining until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 55 mins to 1 hr 5 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool in the tin on a wire rack while you make the syrup. Combine the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, cardamom and 30ml water in a pan. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then add the rosemary. Turn off the heat and infuse for at least 30 mins.
  • Use a skewer to poke holes in the top of the cake, then pour over the syrup. Allow to settle for 5 mins or so, then slice and serve with some natural yogurt or crème fraîche, if you like.

UPSIDE-DOWN BLOOD ORANGE AND ROSEMARY OLIVE OIL CAKE



Upside-Down Blood Orange and Rosemary Olive Oil Cake image

Blood oranges look a lot like navel oranges from the outside, but don't be fooled. Beneath the peel lies a dark crimson flesh with tangy, citrusy notes and a distinct raspberry-like taste. Slice them thin and layer over a bed of rosemary and brown sugar that caramelizes as it bakes. The oranges are topped with a one-bowl olive oil cake batter. After cooling, it flips out perfectly for an elegant dessert topped with candied pistachios for color and crunch.

Provided by Zac Young

Categories     dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
4 medium blood oranges
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup raw, shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine the brown sugar, butter, rosemary and the finely grated zest of 1 blood orange (about 1 teaspoon) in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted, the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a full boil, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to spread evenly (it's OK if the caramel looks grainy).
  • Finely grate the zest of 1 blood orange into a large bowl and set aside. Cut the ends off 3 of the blood oranges, then remove the skin in strips working to expose the flesh all the way around the fruit. Slice the oranges into 1/8-inch-thick rounds and remove any seeds. Arrange the slices over the brown sugar in the pan, overlapping them slightly as needed so that no sugar can be seen. Set aside.
  • Add 1 cup of the granulated sugar and the olive oil to the bowl with the orange zest and whisk to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until lightened, about 4 minutes. Add the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix until just combined, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk and continue whisking until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is incorporated.
  • Carefully pour the batter over the orange slices in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Run a small knife or offset spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen. Invert a large plate or serving platter on top of the pan and flip to unmold. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment. Juice half of the remaining orange (save the other half for another use). Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons of the blood orange juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a small saucepan and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula or wooden spoon to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns rust colored around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and fold in the pistachios until well coated and shiny. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet, breaking up any large clumps with a wooden spoon and allow to dry completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Chop or crush the candied pistachios with a heavy glass to break up any larger pieces. Sprinkle the pistachios around the rim of the cake before serving.

ZUCCHINI OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH MANDARIN ORANGE GLAZE AND WALNUT OLIVE BRITTLE



Zucchini Olive Oil Cake with Mandarin Orange Glaze and Walnut Olive Brittle image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup walnut pieces, chopped
Mandarin Orange Glaze, recipe follows
Walnut Olive Brittle, recipe follows
1/2 cup sugar
6 mandarin oranges, segmented, juices reserved
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
2 tablespoons pitted and finely chopped black olives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a Bundt cake pan using cooking spray, and then dust with flour to coat it completely, tapping out any excess flour.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the eggs, sugar and olive oil on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, and then mix for 30 seconds. Turn the mixer to low and beat in the zucchini and walnuts until they are completely incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes. The cake is done when a tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake has begun to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  • Serve with the Mandarin Orange Glaze and Walnut Olive Brittle.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the sugar and 4 tablespoons water. When the water has evaporated, the sugar will begin to caramelize. When it reaches a medium golden brown, add the mandarin orange juice. Next, whisk in the butter and heavy cream. To finish the sauce, add the mandarin orange segments.
  • Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or with an oiled sheet of foil.
  • Heat the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a deep, heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir slowly with a fork until melted and pale golden in color. Gently swirl the pan and stir in the walnuts and black olives. Then immediately pour the caramel onto the prepared baking sheet, tilting the sheet to spread the caramel as thin as possible. Cool the brittle completely at room temperature. Break into small pieces with a spoon.

BLOOD ORANGE & OLIVE OIL BUNDT CAKE



Blood orange & olive oil bundt cake image

Using a bundt tin, gives a stunning effect to this zesty cake with light olive oil sponge and decadent white chocolate and blood orange glaze

Provided by Edd Kimber

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

cake release spray (available from Lakeland and amazon.co.uk) or melted butter, for greasing
300g golden caster sugar
5 large eggs
zest and juice 3 blood oranges (about 150ml juice)
150ml light olive oil
280g self-raising flour
140g white chocolate , roughly chopped
zest 1 blood orange , plus juice of 1 1/2 (about 75ml juice)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and grease a 2.5-litre bundt tin with the cake release spray or butter.
  • Put the sugar, eggs and zest in a large bowl and whisk with an electric hand whisk for about 10 mins until thick and pale. With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour in the juice and oil, mixing until fully combined. Sieve the flour into the bowl and whisk until just combined to a smooth batter. Pour into the prepared tin, place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 35-40 mins or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 mins before carefully turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the glaze, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally. Once the chocolate has melted, pour in the blood orange juice and stir to combine. Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool, then chill until the glaze is thick but still pourable. Once the glaze is at the desired consistency, pour over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the orange zest over to finish. Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days; can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Time 4h40m

Yield Makes one 5-by-9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
3 or 4 blood oranges
1 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan. With a vegetable peeler, remove peel from half of 1 orange, leaving pith. With a paring knife, cut rind into enough matchsticks to yield 1 tablespoon. Finely grate enough rind of remaining oranges to yield 1 packed tablespoon zest.

  • Combine sugar and zest in a bowl; using your fingers, rub together well. Add juice and buttermilk, and whisk to combine. Add eggs and oil, and whisk to combine. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; add to buttermilk mixture, whisking until smooth.

ORANGE AND OLIVE OIL CAKE



Orange and Olive Oil Cake image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons orange zest (from 3 to 4 oranges)
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 orange
3 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup pine nuts
16 orange segments (from about 2 oranges)
Creme fraiche

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the 2 teaspoons flour and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Brush an 8-inch round cake pan with olive oil and then dust with the flour-sugar mix.
  • With a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs on high speed with the 1 1/3 cup sugar until they turn opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Switch to the paddle attachment and add the milk, the 1/2 cup olive oil, the cream and orange zest. Mix the 1 1/3 cup flour, the yeast and salt together and incorporate into the batter, scraping down the sides as needed. Combine well, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow the batter to rest in a warm place 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven allow to cool in the pan 10 minutes. Run a small knife around the edge of the pan, turn the pan over, tapping if necessary to release the cake, and place on a rack and allow to cool completely. Once cool, invert and place on a rimmed cake plate.
  • For the syrup: Remove the zest from the orange using a peeler, avoiding the pith, and place in a medium saucepan with the orange juice and sugar. Cook over medium heat until a thick syrup forms, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Strain and discard the zest strips. Pour 1/2 the syrup over the cooled cake, and then pierce the surface with a fork to allow the syrup to soak into the cake. Return the remaining syrup to the stove and continue to reduce until very thick and syrupy, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  • For the toppings: In a small skillet, lightly toast the pine nuts over medium heat until just starting to color, 3 to 4 minutes. Roughly chop the pine nuts.
  • Arrange the segmented oranges around the outside edge of the cake and place a small fan of them in the center. Garnish with the pine nuts and drizzle with the reduced syrup. Cut into slices and serve with creme fraiche.
