Cake Preparation

  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 mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not 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 to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with vanilla gelato and black currant jam.
