Calories: 368kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup nondairy yogurt
- 1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
- 1 TBS apple cider vinegar lemon juice, or white vinegar
- 1 cup organic raw sugar or organic cane sugar if that's what you have
- 1 TBS vanilla extract optional
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- More yogurt and berries for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a deep 8 or 9 inch cake pan with a circle of parchment paper. Spray or drizzle with some olive oil to help with an easy release post-baking.
- In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, yogurt milk, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla extract. Set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Carefully combine wet and dry ingredients, taking caution to not over mix but also insuring that all flour is hydrated. Your batter should be fairly thick.
- Pour batter into prepared cake tin and bake for 45 minutes. Poke with a toothpick or knife to check for doneness. No crumbs should stick to the toothpick once inserted. Bake for 5-15 minutes if needed.
- Let cake cool completely in the pan, for about 30 minutes. Top with yogurt and berries. Cake will keep for up to 5 days on the counter, covered.

Notes
Be sure to use an extra-virgin olive oil here, as you can really taste the difference. Olive oil should be stored in a dark place and come in a tinted bottle, as light exposure impacts the flavor.
