Blood Orange Cake

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Sift to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and butter. Once fluffy, add eggs one at a time. Beat until fully incorporated before adding another egg. Add blood orange zest and vanilla extract.
4. Alternate adding flour and milk until the batter is smooth. Stir in 4 tablespoons blood orange juice.
5. Slice the remaining blood oranges into thin rounds, removing the skin with a sharp knife.
6. Place parchment paper on the bottom of two 9-inch pans. Add a layer of blood orange slices. Fill with batter.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Then, run a knife along the outside to loosen. Turn the pan upside-down onto a platter. Enjoy!
