Olive oil gives this cake a plush texture and a quiet savoury note that keeps the sweetness elegant. Serve it plain, with Greek yoghurt, or with softly whipped cream.
Method
Step by step
Heat the oven to 175C and line a 20cm cake tin.
Rub the citrus zest into the sugar, then whisk with the eggs until pale and airy.
Stream in the Konduit oil while whisking, then fold in flour, almonds, baking powder, and salt.
Fold through the citrus juice, pour into the tin, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Cool before slicing. Finish with a little extra zest or a spoon of yoghurt.
Why Konduit
The oil gives moisture and a gentle fruitiness that sits beautifully with citrus.
