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.

P.S.

Cake wrapped/covered in the fridge should keep for up to a week!
