Cranberry-Pecan Olive Oil Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup pecan halves
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, or as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan.

Beat white sugar and eggs together until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Add olive oil, milk, and orange marmalade; beat again until well mixed. Add flour, cranberries, pecans, baking powder, and salt; stir until ingredients are moist. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cake in the pan; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
