I never would have thought that sugar would be considered a liquid, though I guess it does turn liquid at high temperatures. I made the recipe with the original proportions, substituting orange juice for sherry, and it did seem especially sweet. I'll try it with less sugar and more orange juice next time. Thank you for the explanation! That’s very interesting. I never would have thought that sugar would be considered a liquid, though I guess it does turn liquid at high temperatures.

Cutting it back by a third gives you 1+1/3 cups sugar. I've used only 1 cup (prefer my cakes less sweet). Since sugar is considered a liquid ingredient, I compensated by using the full one cup of juice (which should have been 2/3 cup according to the recipe). It turned out great. Hope you like it, too. dn – The original recipe has 2 cups sugar. Cutting it back by a third gives you 1+1/3 cups sugar. I’ve used only 1 cup (prefer my cakes less sweet).

I noticed that you cut back the proportions by a third on almost everything for a single loaf of cake, instead of her recipe for two loaves, except for the orange juice, which is the full 1 cup instead of 1 cup of sherry, and I was wondering why you increased the juice in your recipe--was it for flavor or moisture. Thanks! Hi Cenk,

Everything in the recipe is something I had on hand. I was skeptical as I've never used olive oil in baking. The only thing I did differently was make these as 15 cupcakes (cooking for 20 minutes). These are GREAT! My BF compared them to Starbucks Lemon Pound Cake (only orange). Thanks so much for the recipe and I'm bookmarking your blog!

I have tried other falvours for cakes with olive oil before but never celementines, although they are one of my favourite fruits. I have found the first clementines for the season in the market and decided to try this recipe. I added a tsp of what we call orange blossom water to the juice since the clementines did not seem to have enough flavour yet. Thanks for the recipe! will be coming back for more!
