Olive Oil Cake with Honey-Yogurt Cream and Strawberries
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fruity extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (about 5 1/4 ounces)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/8 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons lime zest, divided
- 3 1/2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (from 2 limes), divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 quarts fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup honey
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with oil. Line bottom of greased pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease parchment; set pan aside.
- Whisk together flours, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup sugar and eggs on medium-high until pale yellow and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Beat in 1/2 cup oil, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 31/2 tablespoons lime juice, and vanilla. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until top is dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with crumbs attached, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove outer ring, and invert cake onto wire rack. Remove bottom of pan and parchment; cool cake completely, about 1 hour.
- Stir together strawberries, remaining 1 teaspoon zest, and remaining 1 teaspoon sugar in a medium bowl. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Whisk together yogurt, cream, honey, and remaining 1 teaspoon lime juice until incorporated.
- Top each cake slice with large spoonfuls of yogurt mixture and strawberries.
