Method
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the lemon zest until just combined, then 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 in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
