Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 /2 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk
  • 3/4 Cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tbsps Lemon Zest
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9x3-inch cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, and lightly spray the top with cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix!
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
