Citrus Celebration Cake
Serves:10
"To reduce the family's fat in our diet I decided to try replacing the butter in baked goods with extra virgin olive oil. This is the family's favorite cake that I've created using olive oil rather than butter. I also use it for bake sales, pot luck dinners, and other special occasions."

2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. lemon peel
1 tsp. orange peel
