Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl (or a deep aluminum pot), add the whole eggs, orange juice, zest, and a pinch of fine salt. Combine these ingredients gently. Add the sugar and mix until smooth.
-
Heat the Mixture: Place the bowl over a pot filled with simmering water (double boiler method). Warm the mixture gently to about 40°C (104°F) while continuously stirring to ensure the eggs are not cooked.
-
Combine with Dry Ingredients: Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, transfer it into a stand mixer. In a separate bowl, sift together 300g of flour and the baking powder. Gradually add the sifted flour to the wet mixture, stirring to combine.
-
Finish the Batter: Once the initial 300g of flour is incorporated, slowly add the remaining 110g of flour, mixing until fully combined.
-
Bake the Plumcake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 30×11 cm (12×4 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
-
Bake to Perfection: Bake the plumcake in the preheated oven for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the plumcake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

This olive oil plumcake is light, moist, and full of refreshing citrus flavor, making it perfect for any occasion. The use of olive oil adds a unique depth of flavor, while the oranges bring a zesty, aromatic touch. Ideal for a family dessert or a special treat with coffee or tea.
