Cook Time60 Minutes
0Ingredients
1 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1/2 cup cornmeal, finely ground
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda (heaping)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 eggs, large, room temperature
2 Tbsp freshly grated blood orange zest (navel orange)
1/4 cup fresh blood orange juice (OJ with splash of pomegranate juice)
1 1/4 cups whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup mascarpone
1 bottle (28 oz) Saratoga® still water
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush a 9” springform pan with extra virgin olive oil, then line the bottom with parchment. Lightly oil the parchment, then dust the pan with flour, shaking out any excess before setting aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- The bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar, eggs, and blood orange zest on high until thick and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. With the mixer still running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and continue to beat until thoroughly combined, 2 minutes more. Reduce speed to low. Slowly add the blood orange juice and milk, followed by the dry ingredients, adding a little at a time, until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top with a small offset spatula.
- Bake the cake until the top is deeply golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, rotating once halfway through and tenting loosely with foil if the cake is browning too quickly, about 50-60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before carefully releasing the collar of the pan and slicing.
- When nearly ready to serve, add heavy cream, mascarpone, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve slices of cake dolloped with whipped mascarpone, alongside citrus fruit and honeycomb, and garnished with hazelnuts.
For Serving:
- 4 pieces mixed citrus fruits (such as blood orange, cara cara orange, navel orange, and pink grapefruit)
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, lightly toasted and finely chopped
- To taste, honeycomb
For Pairing:
- 1 bottle (28 oz) Saratoga® still water (UPC: 00070960000129)
