Lemon Cake

Ingredients

• 200g All-purpose flour
• 180g Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 3 Organic lemons
• 100ml Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Päckchen Baking powder
• 1 Prise Salt
• 50g Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) top/bottom heat. Grease and lightly flour a springform pan (approx. 24 cm diameter).
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light and voluminous. This takes about 5 minutes with a hand mixer.
3. Zest 2 lemons and squeeze the juice from all 3 lemons. Add both to the egg-sugar mixture and stir briefly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, slowly pouring in the olive oil, until everything is well combined and a smooth batter forms.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or lemon zest, if desired.
