Cook The Book: Lemon Olive Oil Cake
- 3/4 extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for the pan
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- Finely grated zest of 3 lemons
- Put oven rack in center position and heat oven to 325u0b0F. Lightly oil a 9-inch springform pan.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- With an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl on high speed for 5 minutes, or until pale and thick. Add yogurt zest; beat to combine. With mixer on medium speed, add oil in a quick steady stream. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture just until blended. Whisk batter by hand to make sure that all ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour batter into pan. Bake, rotating pan once, until cake is golden, center springs back to touch, and edges pull away from pan, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool for a minute or two on rack, then release from pan and cool completely before slicing.
