A simple, moist, and fragrant lemon olive oil cake infused with fresh rosemary, perfect for summer afternoons and easy one-bowl preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅔ cup (160 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • Zest and juice of 2 fresh lemons
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your pan with a little olive oil or butter and line with parchment paper if desired.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
  3. Add the sugar and eggs to the dry ingredients. Whisk briskly until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and milk while whisking gently until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir in the lemon zest and juice, chopped rosemary, and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use good quality mild, fruity olive oil for best flavor. Room temperature eggs and milk help batter come together smoothly. Do not overmix after adding flour to keep the cake tender. Fresh rosemary should be finely chopped to avoid woody bits. Start checking doneness at 40 minutes with a toothpick test. Let cake cool completely before slicing. Optional: sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchy crust.
