Indulge in the delightful flavors of a Luscious Lemon Olive Oil Cake, a recipe that combines the zesty brightness of lemons with the rich, smooth notes of olive oil. This cake is perfect for any occasion, offering a moist and tender crumb that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
100g
3/4 cup olive oil
160g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
140g
1 lemon
110g
5 eggs
280g

Instructions:

2. Prep the Lemon:
- Wash the lemon thoroughly. Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl. Make sure to remove any seeds.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed to beat them together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually, with the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil. Continue beating until fully incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and lemon zest. Stir to distribute the zest evenly throughout the flour.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients into Wet:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Add the lemon juice and gently fold it into the batter until fully incorporated.
6. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- If you notice the top browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
7. Cool the Cake:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
- Once the cake is completely cool, you can serve it as is, or dust it with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
- Enjoy your deliciously moist and aromatic luscious lemon olive oil cake!

Tips:

- Use room temperature eggs to ensure they mix well with the olive oil and batter.

- For enhanced lemon flavor, add a bit of lemon zest to the batter.

- Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best taste.

- To prevent sticking, line your cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

- Test for doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

There you have it—a luscious lemon olive oil cake that’s both delicious and simple to prepare. This cake is a beautiful blend of citrus and olive oil, resulting in a moist, flavorful dessert. Serve it as a stand-alone treat or pair it with a dollop of whipped cream and a cup of tea. Enjoy your homemade slice of perfection!
