What makes this pound cake so special?

First things first, let's talk about the star ingredients of this lemon olive oil pound cake. Instead of using butter like a traditional pound cake, this recipe calls for the rich and fruity flavor of olive oil. Not only does it add a unique twist, but it also creates a moist and tender texture that will make you weak in the knees.

And let's not forget about the lemons! Bursting with tangy goodness, lemons bring a refreshing and bright flavor to the cake. The combination of the citrusy zest and the smooth olive oil creates a harmonious balance that will have you coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds).


Ingredients:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup natural flavored Almond milk
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup Extra White Gold 1:1 all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar to decorate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs with sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add milk and extra-virgin olive oil. Add lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk until smooth. Finally, fold in the flour and baking powder. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out just clean.
  • Cool the cake for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
