1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 3 lemons)
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup whole milk
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a thin film of olive oil, line the bottom with a round of parchment paper, and grease the parchment.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
