Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup milk
1 large lemon juiced and zested
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar to decorate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a 7 or 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Beat the eggs with sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add milk and extra-virgin olive oil. Add lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk until smooth. Finally, fold in the flour and baking powder. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out just clean.
Cool the cake for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cake with some powdered sugar before serving.
