  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup mild olive oil

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, butter, eggs, Campari, citrus zests, and citrus juices.
  4. Fold in the dry ingredients, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake until the top is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed in the center- 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Then run a butter knife around the edges and release the sides of the springform pan. Serve with powdered sugar, dollops of whipped cream, or crème fraîche.
