Olive oil has a subtle fruity flavor that works really well in desserts. You can substitute it for vegetable oil in this recipe, but the taste will be different. This recipe calls for dry figs and lemon zest, which complement the olive oil flavor perfectly. Enjoy!
Note: This recipe was sourced from Daily Food in June 2005 and takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to make. It serves 8 and requires 20 minutes of preparation time.
Ingredients: – 1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for greasing the pan – 1/2 cup milk – 1 large egg – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (measured with a spoon and levelled) – 3/4 cup sugar – 1/2 teaspoon baking powder – 1/4 teaspoon salt – 1 package (10 ounces) dried figs, stems removed and coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups) – 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with oil (or line a cake pan with parchment paper). Set aside. 2. In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the oil, milk, and egg; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; add the milk mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until smooth (do not overmix). Gently fold in the figs and lemon zest. 3. Spread the batter in the prepared pan; smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. 4. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. To serve, cut into wedges.
Variations: You can substitute other dried fruits, such as raisins, cherries, cranberries, or chopped prunes.
Cooks Note: Dried figs: Use a sharp paring knife to remove any tough stems before chopping the fruit.
