Orange Olive Oil Bundt Cake

Orange Olive Oil Bundt Cake Recipe at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

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 Valencia 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.

  • ½ cup Valencia Orange Whole Fruit Premium Olive Oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (optional)

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and citrus zest for 8–10 minutes, until thick and pale.

  4. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.

  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
