Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar; 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoons baking soda; 1 1/3 cups extra-virgin olive oil; 1 1/4 cups whole milk; 3 large eggs; 2 tablespoons lemon zest; 1/4 cups lemon juice; 1/4 cups Cognac

Servings: persons

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/3 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1/4 cups lemon juice
1/4 cups Cognac

1
Preheat the oven to 350o F. While the oven warms up, oil a 9-inch cake pan (I used olive oil spray) and cut out a circular piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of the pan. Make sure to use a 9-inch cake pan that is over two inches in depth so that the cake has plenty of room to rise.
2
In a medium bowl stir together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar. In a large bowl whisk together the milk, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Cognac. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients in three pours until the batter has come together.
3
Transfer the mixture into the 9-inch cake pan using a rubber spatula to utilize every bit of the batter. Bake the cake for 1 hour checking to see if it needs rotated half way through until it is a rich honey color and starting to have a nice golden-brown top. Let the cake cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. To make sure the edges don't stick, take a knife around the entire cake and then turn over onto the cooling rack to cool for at least 1 hour.

Optional: serve with the Genius Slow-Roasted Strawberries on top. I added 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the strawberries before they baked for five hours and spritzed them with lemon juice when they came out of the oven.
