Twelve-Inch Woven Together

 

Whole Orange Pound Cake

 

1 whole seedless navel orange, seeds removed

4 large eggs

3/4 cup canola oil

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon lemon extract

2 cups flour

2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 9x5” loaf pan with parchment and coat with baking spray. Put eggs, oil, lemon extract, and quartered orange into a high-powered blender, then add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend for 30 to 40 seconds or until a thick, pourable batter forms. Pour batter into pan and bake 45 to 50 minutes. To test if it's done, poke a toothpick into pan between the side and middle. Toothpick should come out clean. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before removing cake from pan.
