- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 150 ml Fresh Orange Juice 2.5 medium oranges
- Zest of 2-3 Oranges
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C. Grease loaf pan with butter and set aside.
- Whisk together eggs and sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. At low speed and with the mixer running, add oil slowly until combined. Add orange juice, zest, and vanilla extract and keep whisking slowly until combined. Add flour mixture and whisk just until combined. Don’t overmix.
