Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 scant pound tangerines (3 small-orange-sized)
  • 1 cup sugar ((7 ounces) )
  • 1/3 cup crème fraîche
  • 1 teaspoon orange flower water (it's fine to leave this out if you don't have any)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (see headnote)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour ((7 3/4 ounces) )
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • whipped cream, crème fraîche, extra tangerine supremes, and/or super good olive oil, for serving (optional)

Instruction

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350º. Line a 9x5" loaf pan with a sling of parchment paper (or grease the pan well).
  • Zest 2 1/2 of the tangerines into a large bowl with the sugar. Rub with your fingers until the sugar is evenly moistened. Set aside.
