Olive Oil Lemon Cake Recipe

  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup fat free milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 6 egg whites
  • 2 cups sucanat
  • 1 cup light olive oil
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  2. Mix milk and lemon juice together in a bowl.
  3. Beat egg whites together in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; beat in sucanat until fluffy. Mix olive oil into beaten egg whites mixture until smooth.
  4. Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, lemon zest, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
  5. Stir egg white mixture, alternating with milk mixture, into the flour mixture until batter is smooth; pour into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
