Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest*
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil* (I don't recommend choosing anything labeled "Robust" or "Strong" in flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 cup whole milk

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



Susan Loomis's Lemon Olive Oil image

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.

Minced zest of 2 organic lemons

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use high-quality olive oil and fresh lemons. - If you don't have a zester, you can use a microplane or a fine grater to remove the zest from the lemons. - To make sure the lemon and olive oil dressing is well emulsified, whisk it vigorously or use a blender. - Taste the dressing before adding more lemon juice or salt, as the flavors will intensify as it sits. - Use the dressing to drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, grilled fish or chicken, or as a marinade for meats. - Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
