This is just another recipe that has stolen my heart you guys!!!
HOT DAMN you are in for a real delight when you whip up this olive oil pound cake. It has the perfect amount of lemon added to it so it isn’t overpowering at all. Just has a little extra love from the lemon juice and zest. You can totally add some more too if you are craving a little something more lemony. But I personally found this to be the perfect taste.
Now let’s dive into the consistency of this recipe. It has a crunch around the edges and the center is super moist and cakey. It goes so well with some yogurt smeared on top with fresh berries and even some maple syrup drizzled on top for a little breakfast type of action. And speaking of breakfast – definitely whip this up for your brunch plans or anytime you want to make a little something special for breakfast. Not to mention it freezes really well too. So you can make it and leave it in the freezer too if you want for a rainy day.
I hope you guys love this as much as we do over here!!

Just made this lemon olive oil pound cake and it was 10/10! I subbed flax eggs and it still came out great!
Rachel
YAAYYY!!
Nikki
Just made this and it is super delicious. I didn’t have enough oat flour so did half oat, half gf all purpose and it turned out great!
Amy
So delicious! But mine is very crumbly. Any tips to make it more firm so I can serve in slices? the top half of a slice stays in tact but the bottom just crumbles off. But still, delicious. 🙂
Rachel
make sure you fully mix the batter before adding to pan and let the bread cool after baking
Gracie Schroeder
Freaking amazing. That is all.
Rachel
YAAYYY!!!!
Claudia
Can I make it without the eggs?
Rachel
i don’t recommend it – use flax eggs
