This Lemon Olive Oil Cake is a real treat, baked with extra-virgin olive oil, which not only is a healthy fat but a delicious flavor to bake with resulting in an incredibly moist cake! The easy prep of an olive oil cake is the best part. All you need is one bowl, a whisk (no mixer required!)<\/em>, and a few ingredients including fresh lemon juice and zest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been making lemon olive oil cake for years and I can’t wait to finally share it with you! It’s my go-to dessert. My cardamom spiced orange olive oil cake<\/a> is a big hit around the fall and holidays, so I wanted to share another olive oil cake perfect for warmer weather or Easter dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The olive oil makes this cake stay moist for days, so it’s perfect to make ahead of time. With a light, refreshing taste from the lemons, it’s a crowd-pleaser that isn’t too heavy or rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s hard to mess up an olive oil cake. There’s no butter to soften, no electric mixer required, no frosting to make (just a dusting of powdered sugar if you want), <\/em>and you probably already have all the ingredients you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love using Meyer lemons for this recipe because they are great for baking and a little sweeter and juicier than regular lemons, but any kind of lemon will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
