Baking 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 bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add in the olive oil, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients 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 bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
