1575. Olive Oil Cake

This olive oil cake was a huge hit from the first bite, and frankly, that was quite a surprise. The touch of lemon zest made a huge impact, and the crumb was tender and soft.

It doesn't need any flaff or frosting, it is best served in its simple glory with some nice hot tea.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

3 large eggs

1 1/3 cups olive oil

1 1/4 cup milk

1 Tbsp lemon zest, grated

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 cup sugar

Method:

In one bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and soda and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and olive oil and sugar, then add the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet ones in two batches, beating until just combines (do not overbeat).

Pour the batter in a prepared and lines 9-inch springform pan and bake in a preheated 325F oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Allow to cool a bit in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
