Orange Olive Oil Bundt Cake
Share
There’s something about an olive oil cake that feels timeless. It’s simple, unfussy, and somehow manages to taste better the next day—if it lasts that long.
This Orange Olive Oil Bundt Cake is light, moist, and full of bright citrus flavor. Using Navel Orange Whole Fruit Premium Olive Oil gives the cake a soft crumb and a gentle orange note that doesn’t overpower. Paired with fresh orange and lemon zest, it strikes that perfect balance between sweet and refreshing.
I love this cake because it doesn’t need much. No heavy frosting, no complicated steps—just good ingredients coming together the way they should. A dusting of confectioners’ sugar is plenty, though if you’re feeling fancy, a few slices of blood orange on top make it look like something straight out of a bakery window.
This is the kind of cake you make for brunch, bring to a gathering, or keep on the counter for afternoon coffee. It’s humble, beautiful, and exactly the kind of dessert that lets olive oil shine.

A light, tender citrus bundt cake made with Navel Orange Whole Fruit Premium Olive Oil, fresh orange and lemon juice, and zest for a moist, flavorful dessert that’s simple and elegant.
Ingredients
-
1½ cups superfine or granulated sugar
-
5 large eggs
-
2 tsp citrus zest (from 1 orange and 1 lemon)
-
½ cup freshly squeezed citrus juice (1 orange and 1 lemon)
-
½ cup Navel Orange Whole Fruit Premium Olive Oil
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (optional)
-
Blood orange slices, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and citrus zest for 8–10 minutes, until thick and pale.
Slowly whisk in the citrus juice and Navel Orange Olive Oil until fully combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with confectioners’ sugar, garnish if desired, and serve.
