Ingredients:

• 2 ¼ c flour (I use combo of regular and white whole wheat)
• 1 ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ¾ extra virgin olive oil. I have also used a buttery flavored (vegan) EVOO from the olive oil store.
• 1 ½ c sugar
• 2 Tbs. Orange Juice
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 2/3 c milk (I have used coconut milk to make it pareve)
• I also added a little cinnamon and some sliced almonds

Directions:

1. Oven-325 degrees
2. Combine flour, salt and baking powder;
3. Place olive oil in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, slowly beat in sugar, juice, and vanilla;
4. Add eggs, beating well after each one. Add milk and beat for 2 min.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
6. Pour batter into the loaf pan. I found that you can make the 9X5 an a mini one from the batter.
7. Bake for 1-1 ½ hrs., until cake tester comes out clean. Cake should be golden on top.
8. Cool in pan 10 min. and then turn out to cool completely on a cooling rack.
