Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 medium blood oranges (zested and juiced)

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a larger bowl, beat sugar and eggs until smooth. Gradually whisk in olive oil, followed by blood orange juice and zest.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid over-mixing. Stir in chopped pistachios.
