Method
Preparation
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Wet Ingredients Mixing
Cream butter and sugar
In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add eggs and zest
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combining Ingredients
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Baking
Pour batter into pan
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
