Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

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

  6. 6

    Cool the Cake

    Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
