Why you'll love this cake? – A mixture of olive oil (and you could mix with some mild vegetable oil) makes this cake super soft, and not overpowered in olive flavor (or oily). – Fresh citrus paired with pure vanilla extract makes for the most delicious flavor combo.

Can I make lemon olive oil cake in a regular cake pan? If you’re not baking this in a Bundt pan, it’s best to use a springform pan. If you use a regular 9-inch cake pan, it will end up overflowing.
