My Favorite Anti-inflammatory Dessert!

I’ve been experimenting with different anti-inflammatory desserts for a while now, and I think I have finally found the perfect one! This tender olive oil cake has the perfect amount of sweetness for me, without using too much sugar. It tastes wonderful, and I feel better knowing that it is healthy for me as well.

Ingredients 🛒:

• 2/3 cup olive oil

• 2 large eggs

• 2/3 cup granulated sugar

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 3 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 2 cups flour

• 1 cup greek yogurt (thinned with 4 tbsp water or milk)

Directions 👩‍🍳:

1️⃣ Cream the Eggs and Sugar. Whisk vigorously for 3 minutes until it becoomes a pale, thickened foam.

2️⃣ Slowly whisk in the olive oil, followed by the thinned yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla.

3️⃣ Sift in the flour, salt, baking powder, and soda. Fold with a spatula just until the flour disappears. Do not over-mix!

4️⃣ Bake at 325°F for about 50 minutes, or until golden brown.

Chef’s Tip 💡:

• Yogurt makes cakes brown faster, that's why this cake cooks at a lower temperature!

• To ensure doneness, poke the cake with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is done!
