Lemon Olive Oil Bundt Cake

Method

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Grease the inside of a 10-inch bundt pan with olive-oil or olive oil spray. Add a tablespoon of granulated sugar. Tilt and rotate the pan to evenly distribute the sugar in the bottom and sides of the greased pan. Tap out any excess sugar.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sift.

With an electric mixer beat the eggs until they are pale and light. Slowly pour in the sugar while beating. Add in the sour cream, olive-oil, and vanilla and add to egg and sugar mix until incorporated.

Add the flour to the wet ingredients, beating after each addition, scraping down the bowl a couple times in the process.

Bake in the center of the oven for 45-50 minutes until a cake tester or wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool 15 minutes before glazing.

For the glaze:

Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave. Stir in sifted powdered sugar until its well blended and a thick, syrupy consistency. Add lemon juice and taste. Brush on still warm cake (but cooled a bit) and let it drip down sides.


For the topping:

Cook strawberries, water, sugar and lemon, covered, over low-medium heat until softened slightly. Add a tsp of balsamic. Crush fruit gently with a fork to release moisture. Spoon over cake when ready to serve.
