Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and Sugar together.
  • Add the cooled melted butter, the honey, olive oil, citrus zest and juice. Mix well.
  • Then, incorporate the flour and baking powder.
  • Gently pour your preparation into the Flexipan® with a spatula. Then, cover with your bonMAT™. This will allow for your cakes to rise flat. 
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cakes from 18min)
  • Once your Greek Olive Oil Citrus Cakes are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10min. Then, transfer them onto your cooling rack.

CITRUS GLAZE

  • In a bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Mix until combined. IMPORTANT: Add 1/2 tsp of lemon juice at a time to make it less thick. Add 1/2 tsp of Confectioners' Sugar at a time to make it less runny.
  • Once your Cakes have completely cooled down, drizzle the lemon glaze. Top it off with some lemon zest and small wedges of grapefruit. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
