Directions

Prep 20 minCook 45 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and position the rack in the middle. Grease a springform pan with oil, line the bottom with parchment paper, and oil the parchment.

  2. 2

    Whisk the lemon zest into the flour and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, add olive oil and lemon juice, and beat until just combined. Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined.

  4. 4

    In another bowl, beat egg whites with salt at medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, beating until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Fold one-third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten, then gently fold in the remaining whites until thoroughly combined.

  6. 6

    Transfer the batter to the springform pan and tap gently to release air bubbles. Sprinkle the top with the remaining sugar. Bake until golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and remove the side of the pan. Cool to room temperature, about 1 1/4 hours. Remove the bottom of the pan, peel off the parchment, and transfer the cake to a serving plate.
