Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Brown Butter Glaze and Almonds

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup almond flour or meal

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

A pinch of kosher salt

3 large eggs

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup Sutter Buttes Meyer Lemon Olive Oil*

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Grated zest of 1/4 of an orange

1/2 cup orange juice

For Glaze:

2 1/2 tablespoons Graziers Vat Cultured Euro-Style Butter*

1 cup confectioner’s sugar

3 tablespoons whole milk

1/2 cup sliced, toasted almonds

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and

set aside.

4. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them lightly to break up the

yolks. Add the sugar to the bowl and whisk it until creamy. Add the olive oil and

whisk until the mixture is a bit lighter in color and has thickened slightly, about 45-60

seconds. Whisk in the extracts and zest, followed by the orange juice.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and whisk until they are thoroughly combined;

continue whisking until you have a smooth, batter, about 30 more seconds. Pour the

batter into the prepared pan, and bake the cake for 30-45 minutes.

6. While the cake is cooling, make the glaze. Melt the butter over medium heat in a

small, heavy saucepan. When the bubbles subside, lower the heat and watch the

butter carefully, swirling in the pan occasionally until it begins to turn a light tan

color. Turn off the heat and let the butter sit. It will continue to darken as it sits.

3/47. While the butter cools, sift the confectioner’s sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in

the milk until completely smooth but thick, then slowly whisk in the butter. Stir in the

almonds. Spread the glaze onto the top and sides of the cake and let it sit until set.

Enjoy!
