Gluten-Free Hazelnut Olive Oil Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups hazelnut flour (ground hazelnuts)
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the hazelnut flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the olive oil and sugar until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the olive oil and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition until the mixture is creamy and pale in color.
  5. Stir in the lemon zest (if using) and vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
