Ingredients:

1 cup Granulated Sugar
2 Large Egg
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1¼ cup AP Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Lemon, Juiced
1/2 Large Lemon Zest
ㅤ ㅤLemon Glaze
3 tbsp. Lemon, Juiced Lemon Glaze
1½ cup Powdered Sugar
ㅤ ㅤGarnish

Directions:

Step 1

Heat oven to 170°C / 325°F. Spray and line pans with parchment, if using.

Step 2

Whip eggs and sugar on a KitchenAid fitted with the paddle until light and airy.

Step 3

With mixer on low-medium, stream in olive oil.

Step 4

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Add dry ingredients to batter, then mix together.

Step 6

Add lemon juice and zest, mixing just until incorporated.

Step 7

Pour into sprayed pan, or pans, and sprinkle sugar on top if you’re not glazing the cake..

Step 8

Bake until set in the center, 12-15 minutes for muffins, 25-30 minutes for an 8” cake.

Step 9

Cool slightly then glaze and cut. Can be stored up to a week.

Step 10

Put lemon juice in a bowl. Sift powdered sugar on top, then whisk together. When you draw a channel through the glaze, it should take 2 seconds to get smooth again.

Step 11

Glaze cake once it has cooled slightly, then let sit 15-20 minutes uncovered for the glaze to dry out. Garnish with lemon zest.
