Lemon and raspberry olive oil cake slice

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cup all-purpose flour 
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1¼ tsp baking powder 
  • ¼ tsp baking soda 
  • ¼ tsp salt 
  • 2/3 cup olive oil 
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt 
  • 2 large Pace Farm eggs 
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice 
  • 1 lemon, zested 
  • 1½ cups fresh raspberries 
  • ¼ cup raspberry jam 

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until combined.
  2. Add the olive oil, eggs, Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, lemon zest and fresh raspberries. Gently stir until the lemon and raspberry cake batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a dense cake.
  3. Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan and line with baking paper to prevent the cake from sticking and allow for easy removal after baking.
  4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake until the cake is golden brown and set in the centre, around 30 minutes at 180 °C
  5. For an optional raspberry topping, gently warm the raspberry jam and drizzle over the cooled cake for a glossy, fruity finish.
