Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a 10-inch cake tin with baking paper, coat the sides with oil, and sprinkle flour around the sides.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Remove 2 tablespoons of sugar and reserve for the topping later. In a large bowl or stand mixer, blend together the remaining sugar and eggs until pale, light, well combined, and fluffy.
On low speed, slowly pour in the olive oil.
Add the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and mix well.
Gradually add the flour mixture in small increments until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of sugar on top of the cake.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.
Can I use a different type of oil?
While extra-virgin olive oil provides a unique flavor, you can substitute it with a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil.
How do I store the cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
You can substitute whole wheat flour, but the texture may be denser. Consider using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour for better results.
Can I freeze the cake?
Yes, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
What can I use as a topping instead of sugar?
You can use powdered sugar or a simple lemon glaze for an alternative topping.
