Ingredients

1 cup cake flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
3 eggs
2 ½ cups sugar
Zest of two lemons
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 ½ cups extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup sweetened coconut lightly toasted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease and flour a 9X13-inch pan.
In a small bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a bigger bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until mixture forms a ribbon. Stir in zest, milk and oil until combined.
Fold in dry ingredients and coconut. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on the oven, so take a peek at 45 minutes to see how the cake looks.
Serve with fresh berries, ice cream or on its own.
Enjoy!
