Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose-flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 large lemons, zested and juiced
- 3/4 cup 2% milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round springform pan with nonstick spray and line with a parchment round; set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and olive oil until just combined. Add in the lemon juice and lemon zest and mix until combined. Stir in about a third of the dry ingredients, then stir in half of the milk and repeat ending with the flour mixture.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in your preheated oven on the center rack for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. (If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.)
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then, use a sharp knife to loosen the cake from the collar of the pan and remove the collar. Let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
