Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350F and coat a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan with cooking oil spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together dairy free milk, olive oil, vanilla, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Pour the flour mixture into the large bowl with wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in about half of the blueberries, then transfer batter to the prepared pan.
5
Gently press the remaining blueberries into the top of the cake and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through.

Once cooked, remove from the oven. Let cool completely before removing from pan, at least 30 minutes. After the cake has cooled, top with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing, especially the dairy-free milk and olive oil, to ensure proper emulsification and a lighter, more tender crumb structure.
- Fold Blueberries Last 🫐Toss fresh blueberries in a tablespoon of flour and fold them in at the very end to prevent sinking to the bottom and maintain their burst of brightness throughout the cake.
- Zest Before Juicing 🍋Always zest your lemon before cutting and juicing it—once cut, the zest becomes difficult to remove and you'll maximize the aromatic citrus flavor in every bite.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Mix dry and wet ingredients just until combined to avoid developing gluten, which would make the cake dense; olive oil cakes rely on gentle handling to achieve their signature tender, spongy texture.
- Cool Before Dusting Sugar ✨Wait until the cake cools completely before dusting with powdered sugar, as heat will cause it to dissolve into the cake rather than creating an elegant, visible coating on top.
