LEMON OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH MASCARPONE CREAM

INSTRUCTIONS

LEMON OLIVE OIL CAKE

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9 or 10-inch cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar. Whisk in the olive oil, milk, and zest.

2. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and slowly add the egg mixture, stirring just until blended. If the mixture is too lumpy then strain and push through a medium mesh strainer Try not to over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

3. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is just pulling away from the sides of the pan. Place the cake on a rack and cool for 10 minutes then turn out onto a serving platter.

4. Add Vanilla Mascarpone Cream in between layers or just on top.

3. Add the confectioner’s sugar. Beat until mixed, do not over beat.

4. Finally, beat in the vanilla bean paste, or vanilla extract, if using.
