3. In a large bowl, whisk milk, olive oil, eggs, zest, juice, and rum until mostly homogeneous. You can use either a whisk or a fork, just make sure the eggs are well broken up and incorporated. Add dry ingredients to the wet, and gently stir using a spatula or a wooden spoon. It is ok if there are a few lumps.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 min. Check after 30 min to adjust the cooking time if needed. The cake should be a golden brown color, and if you put a toothpick in the middle, it should come out clean with a few crumbs.
