Can be made ahead of time.
I wanted to make a 9" layer cake so doubled the recipe. For the two layers 1.5 x the recipe would have been sufficient. I used the whisk attachment of my kitchen aid to beat the eggs, sugar, oj, and zest then switched to the paddle when I added the dry ingredients. Plan to put ganache between the layers and to top with a rich chocolate icing.
This is a very mild, sophisticated and beautiful cake!
Made this for my parents who are Spaniards and chefs who love traditional Spanish desserts. They loved it. It was moist and fragrant. Very, very easy to make. I think that one could use the recipie to make not just bundts but cakes, cupcakes, loaves. You can really use you imagination with this one. If you are into chocolate orange combination you could probably do something with this. The olive oil did have a nutty taste to it, but is so much healthier than butter. I was thinking of substituting some of the sugar with honey???
