Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the lemon zest.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Add more lemon juice or powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
