LEMON OLIVE OIL CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) degrees.
- Grease and flour the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round (23 cm) cake pan. Ensure the cake has sides that are at least 2 inches (5 cm) high. I typically use a springform pan.*
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate large bowl beat the eggs, sugar and lemon zest for about 5 minutes. It should look white in color and be about triple in volume when you're done.
- With the mixer on low speed beat in the oil, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
- Mix in about 1/2 of the flour mixture, followed by about 1/2 of the milk. Repeat the process until everything is mixed in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 45-50 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Gently trace around the edges of the cake with a thin, sharp knife. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. If using a regular cake tin, gently invert the pan and let the cake cool on a wire rack. If using a springform pan, unclamp the outer ring of the pan.
- When the cake is fully cooled, optionally sift 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar on top of the cake and/or top with whipped cream and berries.

SUSAN LOOMIS'S LEMON OLIVE OIL
I was introduced to this fragrant oil by my friend and fellow cookbook author Susan Hermann Loomis, who runs a cooking school called On Rue Tatin in her wonderful home in Normandy. I went to visit her one summer evening, and she served roasted peppers doused with this oil and garnished with fresh thyme leaves as part of a first course. The lemon oil goes beautifully with vegetables or fish, and is lovely on a salad or drizzled over bread.

Steps:
- Place the zest and oil in a medium saucepan and heat slowly over low heat until all of the lemon zest begins to sizzle. If you insert a thermometer, the temperature should not go above 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Turn off the heat and wait for the oil to stop sizzling, then cover and allow to steep for 48 hours.
- Strain the oil into clean glass bottles. Keep for one month at room temperature or for several months in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before using.

LEMON OLIVE OIL CAKE
Olive oil cakes are tender and moist, and stay that way longer than butter-based cakes, so they are wonderful if you need to make dessert ahead of time. Serve this recipe with fresh berries when your favorite are in season. -Nicole Gackowski, Antioch, California
