Clementine Olive Oil Cake

Ingredients:


for the cake
freshly grated zest of 6 clementines {Note: Clementine zest leans toward the more bitter end of the spectrum - be careful not to grate into the white pith.}

1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, separated
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (Try to use a good quality oil)
