This Gluten Free Olive Oil Cake is heaven in every bite. It's easy to make and incredibly delicious. The texture is light, fluffy and moist in every bite!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/4 cup gluten free flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 lemon, juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Combine the olive oil, greek yogurt, granulated sugar, eggs and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl
  • Once combined, fold in the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Line a 9x9 circular pan with parchment paper and spray the sides with nonstick (I like to use coconut oil spray)
  • Pour the olive oil cake batter into the pan and spread in an even layer
  • Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the top are edges are golden. A toothpick should also come out of the center clean when it's done baking.
  • However, make sure to not overbake the cake as it will dry out.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 1-2 hours before taking the cake out of the pan.
  • TIP : I like to flip the pan upside down to remove. It should come out easily due to the parchment paper on the bottom of the pan.
  • Since the cake is fully cooled, you can frost or cover in a layer of powdered sugar. I also like to top it with some fresh strawberries.
  • Slice and enjoy!
