Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch springform pan with oil and line bottom with a parchment round; brush parchment.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest to thoroughly combine. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites over medium-low until foamy. Increase speed to medium-high; slowly add 1/3 cup granulated sugar, beating just until whites hold soft peaks, 3 to 4 minutes. In another large bowl, beat egg yolks with remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar on medium-high speed until thick, pale, and tripled in volume, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly beat in oil, then lemon juice to combine (mixture may appear curdled). Stir in flour mixture just to combine. Gently stir one-third of egg-white mixture into yolk mixture to lighten. Then gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture until no streaks of white remain (do not overmix). Transfer batter to prepared pan; gently smooth top with a spatula.
• Bake until cake is golden brown on top and springs back when lightly pressed, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Run a knife between sides of cake and pan to loosen. Remove sides of pan; let cool completely.
• Berries and Cream: Meanwhile, stir together berries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. In another bowl, whisk cream until thick and silky but not holding peaks. Add mascarpone and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Whisk just until soft peaks form.
• Dust top of cake generously with confectioners' sugar. Serve with macerated berries and whipped mascarpone cream. Cake can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

LEMON OLIVE-OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Grease springform pan with some oil, then line bottom with a round of parchment paper. Oil parchment.
• Finely grate enough lemon zest to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons and whisk together with flour. Halve lemon, then squeeze and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
• Beat together yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add olive oil (3/4 cup) and reserved lemon juice, beating until just combined (mixture may appear separated). Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture (do not beat) until just combined.
• Beat egg whites (from 4 eggs) with 1/2 teaspoon salt in another large bowl with cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until foamy, then add 1/4 cup sugar a little at a time, beating, and continue to beat until egg whites just hold soft peaks, about 3 minutes.
• Gently fold one third of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
• Transfer batter to springform pan and gently rap against work surface once or twice to release any air bubbles. Sprinkle top evenly with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until puffed and golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edge of pan and remove side of pan. Cool cake to room temperature, about 1 1/4 hours.

LEMON BARS WITH OLIVE OIL AND SEA SALT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with enough parchment to hang over two of the sides (to be used as handles later to lift the bars out of the pan).
• To make the shortbread base, pulse together the flour, granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and salt in a food processor, or whisk together in a large bowl. Add butter and pulse (or use two knives or your fingers) to cut the butter into the flour until a crumbly dough forms. Press dough into prepared pan and bake until shortbread is pale golden all over, 30 to 35 minutes.
• While the shortbread is baking, prepare the lemon curd: Grate 1/2 tablespoon zest from lemons and set aside. Squeeze lemons to yield 3/4 cup juice.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, sugar, eggs and yolks, cornstarch and fine sea salt over medium heat until boiling and thickened, 2 to 5 minutes. Make sure mixture comes to a boil and stays there for 30 seconds or so; you should see it thicken up before you take it off the heat. But once it boils do not cook for longer than 1 minute or you risk the curd thinning out again. Remove from heat and strain into a bowl. Whisk in butter, olive oil and lemon zest.
• When the shortbread is ready, take it out of the oven and carefully pour the lemon curd onto the shortbread base; return the pan to the oven. Bake until topping is just set, 10 to 15 minutes more. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold before cutting into bars. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and flaky sea salt right before serving.

LEMON-RHUBARB OLIVE-OIL BUNDT CAKE

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together oil, egg yolks, 1 cup granulated sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest and juice. In a third bowl, beat egg whites on low until foamy.
• Increase speed to medium‐high and gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Stir oil mixture into flour mixture just to combine. Stir one‐third of egg‐white mixture into batter, then gently fold in remaining egg‐white mixture just until no streaks remain (do not overmix).
• Toss rhubarb with remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar to evenly coat. Fold rhubarb mixture into batter, then transfer to pan; smooth top with a spatula. Bake until cake is golden brown on top and a wooden skewer inserted into center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes (if top is browning too quickly, tent with foil).
• Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate or stand and let cool completely before slicing and serving. Cake is best served the day it's baked, but can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.
