This lemon olive oil cake is absolutely delicious. I love trying out new cakes and flavor combinations. It makes baking fun and exciting to try out different things. When you’re thinking of cake flavors I’m sure lemon and olive oil may not be your top combination, but I'm here to tell you it’s delicious. Everyone I gave a slice too could stop talking about how good it was. The lemon and olive oil give the cake a bright flavor that isn't over powering. The oil makes the cake soft, dense in texture, and deliciously moist. I hope you get a chance to try this recipe and you love it as much as I do!

Lemon Olive Oil Cake
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 1 c Sugar
- 2 Eggs large
- 2 Lemons Zested
- 3/4 c High Quality Olive Oil
- 1-1/2 c + 2 T Allpurpose flour
- 1-1/2 tsp Lemon Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Powdered Sugar for topping - optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl add the eggs, sugar, and lemon zest together.
- With a hand mixer on medium to high speed mix the eggs and sugar until it becomes fluffy and lighter in color. It will be a pale yellow. This takes about 1-2 minutes.
- While mixing on a medium speed very slowly drizzle in the olive oil until its all incorporated. You don't want to dump the oil in and then mix because it may split your batter.
- Now add your flour, salt, baking powder, and lemon extract.
- Blend with your hand mixer until the batter is just combined. You don't want to over mix.
- Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9 inch pie dish with pan spray and line the bottom with a parchment paper circle.
- Pour your batter in and smooth it out with spatula. The batter levels itself pretty well for a batter this thick.
- Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool and top with powdered sugar and lemon zest if you like.
- Now its time to enjoy!

High quality olive oil: Virgin, extra virgin, dark color, like color? There are a lot of olive oil choices, which is best for this delicious sounding cake? Can fresh squeezed lemon juice be sub’d for the extract?
I Agee with Barbara. Which type of Olive Oil?
could you use avocado oil? If you need to use real lemons for zest, why can’t you use the lemon juice from those lemons.
regardless, cake sounds wonderful.
