Christmas Day was spent in the kitchen preparing for dinner. it’s been a while since we’ve operated our kitchen to full capacity due to circumstances. my first Christmas in the US and it’s so different from back home (in a good way), I felt underprepared, juggling the move and everything, but I’m so grateful to be back. the prep for Christmas only started about a week ago, and I decided to bake this cake at the eleventh hour. most ingredients for this olive oil cake were available in the pantry – can’t be more apt as it’s all about making the most of things given the situation. before I share more about the amazing Christmas dinner that we cooked up, here’s the recipe for this fruity olive oil cake. 🫒🍋

recipe: 
180g plain yogurt
165g olive oil
150g sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 yolks, room temperature 
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice
175g flour
75g almond flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
sprigs of thyme, for garnish.
2 tbsp confectioner's sugar, for garnish 

preheat oven to 325F, line a cake pan with parchment paper and set aside. whisk together yogurt, olive oil, sugar, whole eggs, yolks, lemon zest and lemon juice. In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. pour the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and fold until combined. pour the batter into prepared pan. decorate top with fresh thyme herbs. bake for 1h 10 min or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. remove and let cool before serving. dust the cake evenly with the confectioner's sugar to finish.
