Baking Instructions

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
• Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with olive oil, line with parchment paper and dust with flour.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups granulated sugar, cardamom, and eggs. Beat until thick and fluffy, then slowly drizzle in olive oil.
• Reduce speed to low, add half the orange zest, orange juice, and milk; beat until smooth.
• Add the flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix until uniform.
• Pour batter into the pan, sprinkle with remaining sugar, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes, then invert onto a plate and onto a rack to cool completely.
• Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with orange zest before serving.
