Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly to break them up.

Add 1 cup of sugar to the eggs and mix.

Stream in 1 and 1/4 cup of olive oil while whisking.

Add 1/4 cup of orange juice or orange cello to the mixture and mix until smooth.

Zest 1 orange and 1 lemon, adding the zest to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and whisk together.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing to avoid lumps of flour.

Once combined, pour the batter into a greased cake pan, adding a little butter or oil for insurance against sticking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, checking for a golden brown color and using a toothpick to test for doneness.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.

Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar and garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
