DELICIOUS LEMON OLIVE OIL CAKE RECIPE

While buttermilk and olive oil moisten this cake, lemon juice and zest add bold lemon flavour. Lemon olive oil cake for dessert or morning coffee!  Cake with olive oil? Yes! Olive oil keeps baked goods fresh for days. Simple desserts like this lemon olive oil cake are more interesting with olive oil's complexity than butter or vegetable oil.  

INGREDIENTS 

-Extra Virgin Olive Oil  -Lemons  -Cake flour  -Vanilla  -Buttermilk  -Eggs 

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. Use non-stick spray to grease a 9-inch springform pan. I also recommend parchmenting the pan bottom. It will be easier to remove later!

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet without overmixing that batter. Thin batter is normal!   Put the batter in the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

After baking, let the cake cool for 1 hour before releasing it from the springform pan with a knife. After the cake cools, dust it with powdered sugar before serving.
