This tender, fluffy olive oil cake comes together in less than an hour, start to finish, making it an ideal option for a last-minute dessert. It puts the bold flavor and nuanced aroma of olive oil front and center, so choose a brand you really love. Try pairing it with fresh fruits and a scattering of lightly toasted nuts (pistachio or pine nuts work especially well), or a dollop of softly whipped cream

  1. Made this and it was super yummy although I wish u listed the exact measurements and how u were doing certain stuff????? And how long to bake ????? The cake was mad delicious tho so thanks but the worst explainer ever lol.

  2. I just did this amazing cake, it’s delicious fluffy and crispy on top. Super easy, I didn’t have buttermilk and I used lemon juice and milk instead. And no orange water syrup. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  3. Lol everyone saying they saw it from kylie but my neighbor gave me a slice of this olive oil cake and I fell in love

  4. Ingredients

    5 1/4 ounces white sugar (about 3/4 cup; 150g), plain or lightly toasted

    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    1/2 teaspoon baking powder

    1/4 teaspoon (1g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight

    2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

    5 1/4 ounces best-quality extra-virgin olive oil (about 3/4 cup; 150g); see our guide to choosing a good olive oil for recommendations

    4 ounces cultured low-fat buttermilk or kefir (about 1/2 cup; 110g); see our explainer on buttermilk substitutes for more information

    1 large egg (about 1 3/4 ounces; 50g), straight from the fridge

    1/2 teaspoon orange flower water

    5 3/4 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups, spooned; 165g) cake flour, any style (see note)

    Optional garnishes: powdered sugar, preferably organic (see our explainer on organic powdered sugar for more information); fresh fruit; or toasted nuts

  5. Have you try whipping the olive oil then folding it in with the flour so the cake isn’t so dense

  6. Stella is gifted — baker and presenter. I really want to know what regular, non-dessert food she makes and eats.

  7. Stella, you're a gorgeous person. And if anyone ever tells you any different, you can send them to me and I'll set them straight.
