Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Whisk together the olive oil and sugar in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until smooth.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

Using fresh lemons provides the best flavor. For a healthier alternative, consider sugar substitutes like Stevia or Monk Fruit.
