Ingredients
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 Tablespoon baking powder
pinch of salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup lemon olive oil
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier
1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 Tablespoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan
Heat the Wolf Convection Oven to 325°F Convection Mode with a rack in position 3. Butter a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan.
Make the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Whisk in the olive oil, milk, liqueur, lemon zest, orange zest, and orange juice. Add the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. The batter will be wet.
Bake and Serve
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool until easy to handle, then invert onto a rack to cool completely. Slice and serve with fresh or macerated berries.
