Olive oil cake
A soft olive oil cake with a flavor of lime and vanilla. Here's a simple and quick recipe for a famous "Kardashian olive oil cake".
Ingredients
- 200 g crystal sugar extra on top of the cake
- 160 ml olive oil
- 150 g low fat yogurt
- 2 tbsps fat milk high in fat
- 240 g cake flour
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ tbsp vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 3 tbsps lime juice
- icing sugar on top of the cake
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180°C. Oil a cake pan with olive oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Crack the room temperature eggs and mix them with the crystal sugar until creamy consistency and pale. Mix for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add low-fat yogurt, olive oil, milk, vanilla extract, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Add the dry ingredients into a bowl with wet. Whisk until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with crystal sugar. Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes, until the cake tester comes out clean. Transfer the cake from the oven and let cool.
- When the cake is completely cold, sprinkle the top with a generous amount of icing sugar.
Notes
- for a more intense flavor of lime, you can use more lime juice and lime zest than I used for this recipe
- I baked mine for 40 minutes but it depends on your oven, I recommend baking it for 38 minutes
- I used a cake pan with a diameter of 20 cm, and the cake was tall enough
