Ben was kind enough to share his cake recipe (to which he added homemade quince jam before baking):

Ingredients:

5 eggs, separated

1/3 c. olive oil

1 1/2 c. sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla, lemon, or orange extract (or scrape a vanilla bean)

zest and juice of one orange

zest and juice of one lemon

2 c. flour

1 tsp baking powder

procedure:

preheat oven to 325; oil and dust with flour a 10" cake pan.

beat egg whites until stiff; set aside

beat sugar and oil until blended (you won't be able to cream them together as with butter). beat in egg yolks, then salt, cinnamon, extract, and citrus peels & juices, until smooth. add flour and baking powder in batches and mix until combined. fold in egg whites. pour into pan and bake for 45-60 minutes until firm, golden, and pulling away from sides.

Cool for 10-15 minutes
