BLOOD ORANGE CAKE PREPARATION

In a mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour together with the baking powder. Set aside.
9.52 oz all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder
In a separate mixing bowl, cream the softened butter together with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, then add the olive oil, blood orange zest, blood orange juice and a red/orange colorant. Mix until combined.
3.53 oz butter, 8.80 oz granulated sugar
Fold the flour/baking powder into the batter until there are no more pockets of flour. NOTE: Do not over mix.
5 eggs, 1 oz olive oil, 4 blood orange zest, 2.65 oz Blood Orange juice, food coloring
Pour the batter into your muffin tin and use your spatula to flatten the edges. You may place a silicone baking sheet on top for the muffin rise flat. NOTE: Here I used my medium Bonmat.

BAKE!

Bake for 12 minutes at 340F/170C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your muffins from 10 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean or with little to no crumbs.
Once your Blood Orange Muffins are out of the oven, remove the silicon mat right away and let it cool down for about 10 minutes before demolding on top of a cooling rack. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
N.B. This cake is best enjoyed the day of. However, you can store it wrapped at room temperature up to 3 days.
