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.

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.

ORANGE-MARINATED OLIVES



Orange-Marinated Olives image

Categories     Garlic     Olive     No-Cook     Cocktail Party     Picnic     Vegetarian     Orange     Hot Pepper     Raw     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup brine-cured olives (such as Kalamata and/or green olives)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons very thin matchstick-size strips orange peel
2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon (or more) dried crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Season to taste with red pepper and salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right olives. For this recipe, it's best to use firm, ripe olives with a mild flavor. Avoid olives that are too soft or mushy, as they will not hold their shape well when baked.
  • Use fresh rosemary. Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary, so it's best to use it if you can. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between the olives so that they can roast evenly. If the olives are too crowded, they will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the olives until they are slightly wrinkled. This will take about 15-20 minutes. If you roast the olives for too long, they will become dry and hard.
  • Let the olives cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the olives to firm up.

Conclusion:

These orange and rosemary baked olives are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a healthy snack on their own. With their bright citrus flavor and earthy rosemary aroma, these olives are sure to please everyone.
