Ingredients

For the cake:

1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 ⅓ cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs + 2 yolks
⅔ cup mild olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest from 2 lemons

For topping:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
Cool whip
Assorted berries & lemon slices

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining cake ingredients until smooth and well combined. Add in the flour mixture and mix only until the flour is incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth out evenly.
Place the pan into the preheated oven to bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with slightly moist crumbs. The cake will be golden brown at this point and the edges will have pulled away from the pan. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, release the springform and remove the cake from the pan. Place the cake onto a cake stand or serving platter.
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar. Top with dollops of cool whip, fresh berries and lemon slices.
Slice and serve.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 4 days.
