What are you making, tell everyone.
This is an olive oil cake.
So simple and delicious.
So simple and if you're not a desert person,
this is a great cake for you because a,
it's easy to make and b, it's not to sweet.
And I actually add more salt than you would imagine.
I love salty sweets.
I like it a little bit salty.
Alright so, to start we need to do,
so we have three eggs,
we're gonna take some sugar
and the zest of one orange.
[Rachel] You want me to zest?
Yes please.
[Rachel] In to here
[Clinton] Ya, right into there
and while you're doing that,
I'm going to take our flour our salt
and our baking powder
and I'm gonna combine those three over here.
Now, in the recipe it says one teaspoon of Kosher salt.
Alright now.
You want me to mix this together?
Yes please, put the sugar in there.
So you take your eggs, your sugar, and your.
Oh, oh there we go.
So start that on low
until it gets incorporated and then
this is the only type of tuning part of this,
you gotta whip this for about
a solid five or six minutes on high.
Dude, it's a one hour show.
I know that's why we have a swap over there.
Oh, we got a swap.
It's very aerated.
You gotta make sure that sugars
really incorporated in there.
Okay, so this is this five minutes later
and now we're going to add our olive oil first.
Stream it in for you?
Yes, stream it in low speed.
Alright, now this cake doesn't have any butter
or anything it, so the olive oil is the fat.
And it gives it a really wonderful, sort of savoriness.
Now we have our flour mixture here.
I want you to add about, you know,
a half to a third of that.
(mixer noises)
Once that is incorporated, I add our milk.
(mixer noises)
I think we're doing a pretty nice job.
I agree, I'm enjoying this.
(audience clapping)
But look, as far as cakes go,
isn't this pretty simple, I mean you know.
It's really simple, this I can handle, right.
Ya, spring pan, if you don't have a spring form pan,
don't worry about it, it's not the end of the world.
You can just use a regular cake pan.
You just want to make sure
that you grease it and flour it first.
Gotcha
And then get all that goodness out.
Get all that good stuff
And of course you'll have preset your oven
to 350 here and it takes about 40 minutes
or so, depending on your oven.
All ovens vary, so check it at 40 minutes.
Stick a knife in it or stick a toothpick in it.
It should come out clean, alright.
Fork, nice and clean.
Alright.
Take this little do dad off, come on baby.
There we go, it's a cute little cake.
(audience clapping)
So while that's cooling we're going to
Make a glaze.
Make a glaze and this orange that you have zested
is now going to come in to use
cause we're going to use an orange glaze here.
We're gonna take the juice of that one orange.
Turn this guy on?
Yes, please.
Yes, please. Yes, sir.
Alright juice of the one orange,
can you add the sugar in there as well.
Yes, sir.
Alright, and then you want to make sure
that the sugar gets dissolved in that orange juice.
And then the orange juice should reduce
to about half, so it really becomes a nice syrup.
Which should only take like
a minute, right, with this little amount.
It just takes a minute or so.
And if you don't want to do this step,
you don't have to if you have any orange marmalade
in the refrigerator right now.
Oh you could just loosen it up.
You just melt it down with a little bit of water.
Right, melt it down with a little water.
Yep, okay, so that turns into this.
Now if it's just adults coming over for your olive oil cake,
we have a little Cointreau.
He always comes with a bottle.
I carry Cointreau in my jacket.
Just a little tablespoon of that in this orange glaze.
Isn't that pretty.
Gorgeous, bring it on down.
Now we go back to our cake over here.
Gotcha
Alright, just do a little drizzle on here looks mmm.
Mmmmm. Oh wow.
And that soaks into the cake
if you do it while the cake is still warm.
(audience applause)
Oh, it's so pretty.
And then, oh.
What are these dudes over here,
what do you have going on.
This is just regular old whip cream.
This is mascarpone with a little bit of cream
that's whipped up, which is nice cause it's a little more.
They want the mascarpone, did you hear that.
I want the mascarpone too
They're like (hungry noises)
Clearly they don't care at all about whip cream.
(laughter)
Whip cream, whatever right,
okay, so then we just cut that.
Come on buddy.
Alright so, we know that they wanna roll
with the marscapone so put that up on top.
Do you want a little more of this?
(audience clapping)
Yes, just a little orange zest on there
for a little bit of prettiness
and then maybe you could stick
a mint leaf in if you felt like it too.
Isn't that gorgeous?
It's pretty, right.
(audience cheering)
I love you.
(audience cheers)
