Equipment

Ingredients

Topping

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup sliced almonds

Cake batter

For serving, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly coat a 9” round cake pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with brown sugar and evenly scatter the sliced almonds. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Create a well in the flour mixture and add the olive oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon zest and juice. Whisk into the flour mixture until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the cake onto a serving plate, almond side up. Combine the powdered sugar and ground cardamom and dust over the cake before serving, if desired.
