1 1/2 cups + 1 Tbs.fresh squeezed blood or navel orange juice (4-5 large oranges)
1 Tbs. finely grated orange zest
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
4 large eggs
3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup + 1 Tbs. Blood Orange Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup confectioners sugar

Position a rack in the middle of the oven, remove any racks above, and crank up the heat to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 12-cup bundt or tube pan with 1 tbs. blood orange extra virgin olive oil and set aside.
Finely grate the zest of 2 oranges, then squeeze 4 of them. You should have 1 1/2 cups and 1 reserved tablespoon of orange juice; if not, squeeze the 5th orange. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand held mixer in a large bowl, beat the eggs on medium-high speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the granulated sugar and continue beating until thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. On low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and blood orange extra virgin olive oil, starting and ending with the flour, and beat until just a few wisps of flour remain. Pour in the orange juice, zest and dried cranberries and whirl for a few seconds to bring the batter together.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a cake tester comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, about 1 1/4 hours. If the top is browning too much as the cake bakes, cover lightly with foil. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes and then turn the cake out on to a rack over a sheet pan. Mix together 1 tablespoon reserved orange juice with confectioners sugar to form a glaze. Pour slowly and evenly over the warm cake. Serve at room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 325
Using a teaspoon of blood orange extra virgin olive oil, grease a 9 x 13″ baking pan. Line pan with strip of parchment, cut to overhang the long sides of the pan.
In a large bowl set over a double boiler, slowly melt the butter with the dark chocolate. Stir constantly until completely melted.
Remove from the heat and stir in the blood orange fused extra virgin olive oil, eggs, tangerine balsamic, orange zest and sugar. Mix until well combined.
Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder and add to the wet ingredients. Fold until there are no visible dry spots.
Scrape batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake on the center rack of the oven for approx. 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out with very moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 min. Lift out using the parchment and cool completely before cutting.
