Shix bakes: orange olive oil cake

This simple orange cake i got from http://www.italianfoodforever.com/2013/07/olive-oil-orange-cake/is super moist and delish. The first of my Eid cakes. 

Ingredients:

4 small mandarin oranges (peeled)

Rind of 2 of the oranges

1/3 Cup Olive Oil

1 Cup Plain Flour

1 Cup Self-rising flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch of Salt

4 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Cups Sugar

Method: 

Prep oven at 160deg. 

Blend oranges and rind till slightly chunky before adding the oil. 

In another bowl ready the dry products mixing it evenly

In yet another bowl whisk the eggs till light and fluffy before adding the sugar. Then add the flour and orange mixture into the eggs, alternating between the two. Be careful not to over mix. 

I baked it for about 45 mins then left it there for another hour or so while I went out for Iftar and ran errands thus the dark crust. Remember to take it out sooner if you want it less brown. 

That's it! Easy and alhamdulillah delicious.
