This Gluten Free Lemon Olive Oil Cake is a moist, easy dessert inspired by classic Italian olive oil cake recipes. Made from scratch, this simple lemon olive oil cake has a tender crumb and bright citrus flavor that makes it feel light yet indulgent.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten Free Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Olive Oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
Topping:
- 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
Powdered Sugar, for dusting top after baked
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or coconut oil. Wrap the bottom of the pan in aluminum foil. This cake may leak some oil and the aluminum foil will catch that in your oven. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer blend together the olive oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and yogurt until they're combined.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend just until combined.
Pour the cake batter into your greased pan evenly. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. The cake will be lightly browned on top and a toothpick will come out clean when it's done.
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes and the gently remove the sides of the springform pan. Allow the cake to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
