Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, toasted olive oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
