Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat 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 mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to 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 into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cake

    Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
