Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

Mixing Wet Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Combining and Baking

  1. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the lemon zest.

  2. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 6

    Cool and Dust

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
