Lemon Olive Oil Cake

Written by Published on in Dessert

If you were to ask me what the perfect summer cake is, my immediate answer would be lemon olive oil cake. Olive oil cake is so light and moist. Olive oil replaces butter which helps make the cake rich and flavorful. If you are going to a summer party and need to bring a dessert, this olive oil cake with fresh lemon is an amazing option. It is easy to cook and you probably have most of the ingredients already in your pantry.
