Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and olive oil until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Add more lemon juice or powdered sugar as needed.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Ensure your olive oil is good quality for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice in the glaze to achieve your desired consistency and tartness.
