Cooking Steps

1
  • Grease the base of an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan with 2 tsp softened butter, then line with parchment paper. (NOTE: If you don't have a round cake pan, use a square 8x8 baking dish instead)
  • Zest, then juice lemon.
  • Add eggs, lemon zest, 1/2 cup olive oil and 2/3 cup water to a large bowl, then whisk to combine. Add Vanilla Baking Mix, then whisk until smooth.
  • Transfer cake batter to the prepared cake pan.
2
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until lightly golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 25-35 mins.
  • Meanwhile, add 1.5 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice to a small bowl, then whisk to combine.
  • When cake is done, transfer baking tin to a wire rack to cool for 15 mins. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the baking tin, then quickly invert the cake onto a wire rack. Carefully flip the cake back domed-side up.
  • Using a fork, poke holes all over the surface of the cake, then brush olive oil mixture all over the top.
  • Allow cake to cool completely, 30 min.
3
  • Add remaining softened butter and powdered sugar to a large bowl, then beat using an electric hand mixer or wooden spoon until combined 1-2 min. Slowly add cream cheese and beat until smooth, light and. fluffy, 1-2 min. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice and beat to combine.

  • When cake has fully cooled, spread tangy cream cheese frosting over top.
  • Cut lemon and olive oil cake into desired number of slices.
