HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

02

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

03

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and olive oil until well combined.

04

Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and olive oil mixture, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.

05

Stir in the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the wet ingredients.

06

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

07

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

08

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
