Equipment

  • 9” Springform pan
  • 15” wide parchment paper

Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest from 3 lemons 
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
  • ¾ cup raw turbinado sugar
  • ½ cup whole milk or milk of choice
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
Garnish
  • Additional blueberries (optional)
  • Sprigs of mint

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a springform pan with the wide 15” parchment paper by cutting a large enough piece and pressing the paper into the springform pan. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. 
  • Using a whisk, stir to combine all the dry ingredients. 
  • To the center of the dry ingredients, add the eggs, lemon zest, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk to combine. 
  • Add the sugar and milk and whisk again. 
  • Last, add the blueberries and using a spatula, stir to combine. 
  • Pour the batter into the prepared parchment-lined springform pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.
  • Let the cake completely cool in the parchment-lined springform pan and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. The cake can then be transferred when the springform ring is released and a spatula can be used to slide the cake from the parchment paper to a platter. 
  • Slice and serve with additional blueberries and garnish with sprigs of mint if desired.
