Italian Olive Oil Cake

Roxy Bannerman has shared this super-simple dairy-free recipe which Italians traditionally eat for breakfast.  It’s the perfect excuse for cake in the morning. Cake for breakfast…why not?

Ingredients

  • 175g 00′ flour or plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 150g olive oil
  • 150g caster sugar
  • juice and zest of 1 lemon

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180. Grease and line a loaf tin.
  2. Mix together the eggs, sugar, oil, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl until well combined.  Sift over the flour and baking powder and fold in with the salt.
  3. Pour into the loaf tin and bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  4. Cover with foil after 30mins if you think it’s browning too much.
  5. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
