Ingredients:

• For the Cake:

  • 2 oranges, peeled
  • 1/4 cup Organic Blue Agave
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

• For the Whipped Cream and Toppings:

  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup Organic Blue Agave
  • Blueberries and pistachios for garnish
  • Additional agave for drizzling

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
   • Line two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans with non-stick spray and parchment paper cut to fit the bottom.

2. Orange Mixture:

   • In a food processor, combine the peeled oranges and agave. Pulse until you get a pulpy juice. Set this aside.

3. Making the Cake:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and olive oil until well incorporated.
   • Stir in the orange juice mixture.
   • Gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined.
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pans, tapping them on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
   • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
   • Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the whipped cream to prevent it from melting.

4. Whipped Cream:

   • Using an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until it’s light and fluffy.
   • Gently fold in the agave.
   • Spread a layer of whipped cream over the first cake layer, being careful to keep it centered to avoid spilling over the edges.
   • Place the second cake layer on top and add another layer of whipped cream.
   • Garnish with blueberries, pistachios, and a drizzle of agave.

Additional Tips:

• For an extra burst of flavor, juice a few more oranges and reduce it down to a thick syrup with a bit of agave. Once the cakes are baked, poke holes in them and pour the syrup over each layer, making them extra moist and flavorful.
• This cake is best served chilled, especially after it has absorbed the orange syrup.

Enjoy your homemade Orange Brunch Cake, a perfect blend of citrusy sweetness and creamy indulgence!
