Ingredients

  • Whole Wheat Flour – 2 cups. You may also need extra for dusting later on .
  • Baking Soda– 1 teaspoon.
  • Baking Powder– 1 teaspoon.
  • Salt– ½ teaspoon.
  • Eggs- 3.
  • Sugar- 1 cup.
  • Whole Milk- ¾ cup.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil -¾ cup
  • Lemon Zest– 1 ½ teaspoons.
  • Vanilla Extract– 1 teaspoon .

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and prep you pan for nonstick. I like to spray with nonstick and dust with a bit of extra flour or sugar.
  • Sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set this bowl aside for a moment.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip together the eggs and sugar until it appears airy and combined.
  • Add the milk, oil, lemon zest, and the vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and mix until combined.
  • We will now add the flour mixture from the first bowl to the mixing bowl by adding half of mixture half at a time, mixing gently between additions. Mix this gently without over mixing.
  • Bake your cake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before removing from the pan

Recipe Notes

This recipe works great with a springform pan. 
I also like how easy this kind of a pan makes for clean up!
