Ingredients
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar divided
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup milk at room temperature
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Using a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 ⅓ cups sugar and almond extract.
- Beat on high until mixture has thickened and is and pale yellow, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce speed to medium and, with mixer running, slowly stream in oil.
- Mix until oil is fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt together just until combined.
- Add milk and stir in just until combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Sprinkle almonds over the batter.
- Sprinkle remaining sugar (a generous 2 tablespoons) over almonds and batter.
- Bake about 40-45 minutes, or until cake is deep golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out with few crumbs attached.
- Transfer pan to wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Remove side of pan and let cake cool completely, about 1 ½ hours.
- Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
Notes
- Olive oil: I like to use extra-virgin olive oil. However, you can use any type that you like.
- Salt: Or 1/2 teaspoon of table salt.
- Milk: You can use any milk from skim to whole milk. Whole milk will give you a slightly richer cake. You can also use a nondairy milk, like almond milk, if you prefer.
- Baking: If you are worried that your springform pan may leak, place it on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
