Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the self-raising flour and all-purpose white wheat flour. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Gradually add the olive oil to the egg and sugar mixture, continuing to beat until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the mixed flours to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate, or frost with your favorite icing before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality olive oil: The flavor of the olive oil will be prominent in this cake, so it's worth using a high-quality, extra-virgin olive oil for the best taste.
- Don't overmix the batter: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until they are incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
- Check for doneness: Use a toothpick or cake tester to check if the cake is done. Insert it into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool before serving: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds together well and the flavors have melded together.
- Add your own twist: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or nuts, to add an extra layer of texture and flavor to your cake.
