Ingredients
Scale
1 cup olive oil
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp for sprinkling the top
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup lemon juice
zest from 3 lemons and 1 orange
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan well, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, eggs, and sugar. Add vanilla, lemon and orange zest, and lemon juice, and whisk briefly to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Alternating with milk, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of granulated sugar evenly on top. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is golden on top. If the cake is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil. Note: Bake time may vary depending on your oven.
- Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then, remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for extra sweetness if desired.
