Oil, butter, or spray a 9-inch cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.  If using a mini bundt pan, this will make 8-10 mini cakes (since my mold is only for 6 cakes, I had enough batter for a mini loaf cake too). Make sure you grease the molds VERY well, to insure easy out.  In a bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and powder. In another bowl, whisk the olive oil, milk, eggs, orange zest and juice and Grand Marnier. Add the dry ingredients; whisk until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan (I use a measuring cup to pour into the mini bundt molds&#8230;.easier) and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour (30 minutes if doing mini bundts), until the top is golden and a cake tester comes out clean. Transfer the cake(s) to a rack and let cool for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, invert the cake onto the rack and let cool completely. I like to ice my cakes while still warm (I know you are supposed to wait, but I have no patience). Whisk icing with a fork and pour into a cereal bowl. Dip each cake into the icing, working quickly, so it doesn&#8217;t harden. Let the icing drip down and harden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maialino&#8217;s Citrus Olive Oil Cakes &nbsp; 2 C. all-purpose flour 1 3\/4 C. sugar 1 1\/2 tsp. kosher salt 1\/2 tsp. baking soda 1\/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1\/3 C. extra-virgin olive oil 1 1\/4 C. whole milk 3 large eggs 1 1\/2 T. grated orange zest 1\/4 C. fresh orange juice 1\/4 C.
