Enjoy this amazing recipe from pastry chef and WoopEVO ambassador Ilaria Marzullo
 

My Olive oil lemon cake is super fresh and is really easy to prepare! I decided to use Extra virgin olive oil from Agrums Trespaldum, an amazing good quality olive oil with a fresh citrus aroma & taste, it really accentuates the taste of lemon in this cake recipe.

For the oil cake
160g Sugar
37g Egg Yolk
25g Lemon juice
3g Lemon Zest
113g Flour
160g Italian Olive oil extra virgin Agrums
105g Egg White
2 g Salt
  1. Preheat the oven to 165°C
  2. Combine 110 g sugar, egg yolk, lemon juice, and lemon zest in stand mixer with whisk attachment. Mix on medium speed until incorporated.
  3. Sift flour and Gradually add while mixing on medium speed.
  4. In a slow stream, pour in the olive oil. Once thoroughly mixed, transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  5. Clean and dry the stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment. Add egg whites and salt to bowl of stand mixer. Mix on high speed until eggs form a light foam.
  6. Gradually add 50g sugar. Mix until stiff peaks form. (You can tell stiff peaks have formed when the peaks of the foam don’t fall when you remove the whisk and hold it upright.)
  7. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter a third at a time.
  8. Coat a 20cm springform pan with butter. Dust with flour and tap pan on counter to remove excess flour. Pour batter into pan.
