- 2 tablespoon finely grated orange rind
- 1/2 cup (125ml) olive oil
- 1/3 cup (80ml) milk

Method
Olive oil cake with blueberries
-
1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease deep 19cm-square cake pan.
-
2Beat eggs, sugar and rind in small bowl with electric mixer until sugar is dissolved; transfer to large bowl. Fold in combined oil and milk, and sifted flours, in two batches.
-
3Pour mixture into pan; bake 20 minutes. Carefully remove cake from oven; sprinkle surface evenly with blueberries. Return cake to oven; bake about 40 minutes. Stand cake 10 minutes; turn, top-side up, onto wire rack to cool.
-
4Brush warm cake with jam.
Notes
Don't thaw the frozen berries as they might bleed colour into the cake. In season, fresh ones may be used instead of frozen. The surface of the cake should be flat and just set before the blueberries are sprinkled over it, so that they won't sink in.
