Olive Oil Cake
Makes one 9x5" Loaf 1 1/2 cups olive oil 1 1/4 cups sugar Zest of 2 lemons 6 eggs 1 Tsp vanilla extract 2 cups flour 1 1/2 Tsp baking soda 1/4 Tsp salt | Follow these instructions (from Chef Nick himself!) to make Olive Oil Cake at home: 1. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. 2. Preheat your oven to 300°F, and let the batter rest for an hour. 3. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray and pour in the batter. 4. Bake in your preheated oven for about 80 minutes, turning halfway through. It will be golden brown and a toothpick should come out clean. 5. Let the cake cool in the pan, then slice and enjoy! 6. (Optional) Mix powdered sugar with a little lemon juice for a classic glaze to pour over your cooled cake.
Cake wrapped/covered in the fridge should keep for up to a week! |
