Oh my friends. This cake! My love for lemon ANYTHING just keeps growing.
I have seen olive oil cakes all over Instagram. So many beautiful cakes! But, how about making it lemony?
This was a slam dunk. Don’t you just LOVE it when that happens?
We had Cory’s mom over for dinner this week, and I always feel like you need something sweet after dinner. Especially when you have guests. We had everything in the pantry/fridge, so I recruited Bailey to whip it up.
It paired perfectly with our homemade pizza dinner!!!
I always feel the the ingredients in the name of the recipe, need to be the best. So we obvi pulled out our Cobram Oilve Oil. And homegrown lemons.
This recipe is lite and fresh. The perfect amount of lemon! And if you decide to try it out – let me know. I just know you’re going to love it too!

Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling the top
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- zest from 3 lemons
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup milk
- powdered sugar for dusting
Here’s what you’ll do:
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare your baking pan of choice. I couldn’t find out springform pan, so we used 2 – 9″ rounds.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil + eggs + sugar.
Add vanilla + lemon zest + lemon juice. Whisk to combine.
Next add in salt + baking powder + baking soda + flour. Then milk.
Pour the batter into prepared pan(s). And sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the top.
Bake for 50-55 minutes. The cake should be risen and starting to turn a bit golden brown on the top.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then gently remove the cake from the pan and allow to cool completely on a baking rack.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and ENJOY!!!
