Time 2h5m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice
5 large eggs, separated, room temperature
1/3 cup plus 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
4 cups fresh berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, and halved (or quartered, if large) strawberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups heavy cream
8 ounces mascarpone, stirred until smooth

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

Categories     Citrus     Egg     Bake     Quick & Easy     Spring     Birthday     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup olive oil (extra-virgin if desired), plus additional for greasing pan
1 large lemon
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
5 large eggs, separated, reserving 1 white for another use
3/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
Special Equipment
a 9-inch (24-cm) springform pan; parchment paper

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. Remove bottom of pan and peel off parchment, then transfer cake to a serving plate.

LEMON-RHUBARB OLIVE-OIL BUNDT CAKE



Lemon-Rhubarb Olive-Oil Bundt Cake image

A dairy-free dump and whisk batter means this Bundt is extra easy to make. Plus the olive-oil and whipped egg whites give it a light, fluffy texture reminiscent of a cake donut. And there's a secret technique to this tangy, lemon-rhubarb knockout: a coat of sanding sugar in the pan helps the cake come out of the mold, while also baking into a sparkly shell.

Time 4h30m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
Sanding or sparkling sugar, for pan
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3 large eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, plus 1/4 cup fresh juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
8 ounces rhubarb, cut into a 1/2-inch dice (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 10‐to‐15‐cup Bundt pan with oil; generously sprinkle with sanding sugar to fully coat (do not tap out excess).
  • 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.

ALMOND OLIVE OIL LEMON BUNDT CAKE



ALMOND OLIVE OIL LEMON BUNDT CAKE image

Categories     Cake     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Easter     Fourth of July     Yogurt     Mother's Day     Lemon     Spring     Summer

Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 11

-- Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour + more for the pan
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup Greek plain full-fat yogurt
1 cup good-quality fruity extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
-- Grated zest of 4 lemons, about 3 tablespoons
-- Sliced strawberries and whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Move a rack to the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°. Thoroughly coat a 9-cup (10-inch) bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Turn the pan upside down to drain off any pooling spray. Coat the sides, bottom, and tube with flour, rotating and tilting the pan to coat well. Invert the pan to let excess flour fall from the pan. (I grease and flour the pan in the sink or in an open dishwasher to contain the mess.) In a food processor, process the almonds with 1 cup of the flour until finely ground. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until combined. Whisk in the yogurt and then the olive oil. Add the flour-nut mixture, the remaining 1 cup flour, baking soda, salt and lemon zest; stir until well combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a bamboo skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Let cool on a rack for about 20 minutes. Unmold by giving the pan a sharp tap on the counter to help release the cake, then invert the pan onto a cake plate or platter. Cool fully before slicing with a serrated knife. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for this cake. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Zest the lemons finely: When you zest the lemons, be sure to zest them finely. This will help to release the essential oils from the lemon zest and give the cake a more intense lemon flavor.
  • Use good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use in this cake is important. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: The cake will be very moist when it comes out of the oven. Let it cool completely before serving so that it has a chance to firm up.

Conclusion:

This lemon olive oil cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a delicate lemon flavor. The olive oil adds a richness and depth of flavor to the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
