Ingredients
- 4 large eggs yolks and whites divided (room temperature preferred)
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (157ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon table salt
- 2 Tablespoons coarse granulated sugar may sub regular granulated sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F (160C). If your springform pan is not non-stick, lightly spray sides and bottom with baking spray.
- Crack eggs, separating the egg yolks into a large mixing bowl and the egg whites into a clean, dry medium-sized mixing bowl.
- To the large bowl with the egg yolks, add sugar, olive oil, and lemon zest. Use an electric mixer (or stand mixer) to beat on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes, batter should be uniform and well-combined.
- With mixer on low-speed, gradually stir in milk and lemon juice until combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Use a spatula to gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture, until combined.
- Use an electric mixer (with clean, dry beaters) to beat your egg whites to stiff peaks. Set aside.
- Use your spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the batter until completely combined (do not over-mix).
- Pour batter evenly into 9” springform pan. Sprinkle all over with coarse sugar.
- Place springform pan on a foil-lined baking sheet and transfer to center rack of 325F (160C) oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow cake to cool completely before removing the ring from the springform pan and slicing and serving,
