Cook this recipe

  • all-purpose flour-1 3/4 cups
  • granulated sugar-1 cup
  • extra-virgin olive oil-3/4 cup
  • large eggs-3 each
  • whole milk-1/2 cup
  • powdered sugar-2 tablespoons
  • baking powder-2 teaspoons
  • fresh lemons-2 each
  • vanilla extract-1 teaspoon
  • fine salt-1/2 teaspoon
1
Preheat and prepare pan and lemons
Citrus juicer
Parchment paper
9-inch round cake pan
Zester

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use one twenty-fourth of the measured olive oil to grease a 9-inch round cake pan, reserving the rest for the batter. Line the bottom with parchment, then wash, dry, zest and juice the lemons.

Keep fingers clear of the zester and use steady pressure while zesting.

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 Each lemon
2
Combine dry ingredients
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Mixing bowls

In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine salt until evenly combined.

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3
Whisk eggs and sugar
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Mixing bowls

In a large bowl, whisk large eggs and granulated sugar for 1 minute until pale and slightly foamy.

3 Each egg
1 cup granulated sugar
4
Add wet ingredients and lemon
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Mixing bowls

Slowly whisk the reserved olive oil into the eggs and sugar until glossy. Whisk in the milk, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.

3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup milk
2 Each lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5
Fold batter
Rubber spatula
Mixing bowls

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain and the batter looks smooth but not overmixed.

6
Bake the cake
Rubber spatula
9-inch round cake pan

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top; bake for 32 to 38 minutes until the cake is golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

Use oven mitts when handling the hot cake pan.

7
Cool the cake
Parchment paper
Wire cooling rack
9-inch round cake pan

Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn onto a rack and remove the parchment. Cool for about 45 minutes more, until room temperature, before dusting and serving.

Let the cake cool before slicing to reduce steam burns and crumbling.

8
Dust, slice, and serve

Dust the top with powdered sugar, slice, and serve at room temperature for the best moist olive oil crumb.

2 tablespoons powdered sugar
