Lemon White Wine Cake
Infused with the bright essence of freshly squeezed lemons and the refined subtlety of white wine, this cake embodies pure sophistication.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually add the olive oil, white wine, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the egg mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar. Slice and serve.
