This recipe for Citrus and Olive Oil Bundt Cake makes a simple flavored cake that uses anything from orange to lemon juices and rind for flavor. This delicious cake is completely dairy free; using olive oil keeps this cake really moist and the whipped eggs make it beautifully fluffy .
The other day an old friend came to my house for coffee. It’s been ages since I saw her so I thought it would be nice if I baked her a cake. She is lactose intolerant so she doesn’t get to eat cake very often, so I set out to make a dairy free cake.
I’ve seen a lot of recipes that use olive oil in place of butter and milk. I’ve had a couple and found them a bit dense so I decided to try whipping the eggs to make it lighter. Let me tell you, I am really pleased with the result.
This cake is super light and packed full of citrus flavor. I had oranges, lemons and tangerines on hand so that’s what I used for the juices and for the rind, I used orange and lemon, but I’m guessing lime would work as well. You can use what ever you have on hand, but make sure you use enough rind.
The first time I made it, the flavor was a bit flat so I doubled the rind for my second trial run. It turned out perfect.
For the glaze, I used a simple mixture of citrus juice and powdered sugar. You don’t miss the milk or butter one bit!
If you know someone who can’t eat dairy, this is a perfect solution! My friend was thrilled with it, so if you know someone who can’t have dairy products, give them a treat with this fabulous cake.
