Vary this yellow cake according to your mood and what's available. For instance, add sliced and lightly sugared fruit on the top of the unbaked batter, or top it with crushed nuts before baking, or split the baked and cooled cake to spread it with a layer of preserves, then dust it with powdered sugar.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon or orange zest
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 cups cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Oil and flour a ten-inch springform pan. Over the bottom piece of the pan, clamp a circle of parchment paper, which makes removing the cake easier. With an electric hand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and zest until pale yellow and thick, about 5 minutes. Mix in the milk and oil. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together and then fold the dry mixture into the liquid until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven, allow it to cool for 10 minutes, run a knife around the edge of the pan and remove the ring of the springmold. Cool completely and serve.
