In a large bowl, beat together olive oil and sugar until pale and creamy. Beat in honey and lemon juice. Beat in orange and lemon zest.
Add flour mixture to the bowl and beat until just combined. Beat in orange juice.
Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth evenly. Bake until dry on top and a cake tester comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
