Olive Oil Cake with Fruit

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 0.75 cup sugar, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat 2 eggs with 0.5 cup olive oil, 0.5 cup milk, and the zest of 1 lemon until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined—do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 5

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6

Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form. Spread over the cooled cake and top with fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries.
