Ingredients

2 cups blanched almond flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp fresh lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups blanched almond flour, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp fine sea salt.
3

In a separate bowl, whisk 3 room temperature large eggs, 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tsp fresh lemon zest, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until well combined.
4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms.
5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 32-38 minutes, until the top is deep golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7

Dust with 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting) before serving.
