Lemon and olive oil cake

The lemon and olive oil cake, a classic on our summer tables. I realized it for the birthday of a friend and it surprised by its color and taste that was close to gingerbread ! And yes, I modified the recipe with what I had on hand with the change of flat. Personally, I love the soft texture, this full-bodied taste and especially the lemon syrup that soaks the cake!

I enjoy it with some Iced tea from Dammann which compliments the cake very well.
