Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour
- 1 teaspoon Otto’s Naturals Grain-Free Baking Powder
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 Tablespoon grain-free powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh fruit, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, oil and eggs together until smooth.
- Add the cassava flour and baking powder and whisk until incorporated.
- Add the milk and whisk until combined. Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until lightly golden and springy to the touch. A knife should come out clean with a few crumbs but not wet. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, level the top and place on a cake stand or cake plate bottom side up.
- If desired, sift some powdered sugar on top and decorate with some fresh fruit. Slice and enjoy!
