Ingredients

- Eggs – I prefer to use large, free-range eggs for their gorgeous yellow yolks. However use whatever you’ve got in the fridge, this cake will still work.
- Granulated sugar – this recipe calls for regular white granulated sugar which you’ll probably have in your pantry. Sugar doesn’t expire so it’s good to have extra on hand if you like baking. Keep the sugar away from moisture.
- Lemon zest and juice – I used one large lemon to get the zest and juice for this Italian Lemon Cake but if the lemons are small you’ll need two.
- Olive oil – you can use whichever type of olive oil you like the taste of. If you don’t want to taste the olive oil, go for the light (in taste) type. If you’re like me and enjoy the full flavor of extra virgin olive oil, use it!
- Whole milk – for this recipe, it’s best to use whole milk but if you only have 2% use that – it’ll be fine.
- All purpose flour – use plain all purpose flour that contains no extra raising agents.
- Baking powder – be sure to use fresh baking powder. If you’re unsure, spoon a little into some hot water. If it’s still active it will bubble. If not, buy a fresh one. Store it in a dry cupboard away from heat and moisture.
- Powdered sugar – just like my Spanish Almond Cake, this cake is perfectly finished with a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
