Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup almond flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Pomegranate seeds and chopped toasted almonds, for topping

Steps:

Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Brush a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan with olive oil; dust with flour and tap out the excess. Whisk the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Combine the granulated sugar and eggs in a large bowl; beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and slowly beat in the olive oil until the batter is smooth. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in two additions, alternating with the almond milk, until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 15 minutes in the pan. Loosen with an offset spatula, then invert onto the rack to cool completely.
Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a bowl until smooth; stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon milk if the glaze is too thick. Spoon the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and chopped almonds. Let the glaze set, about 20 minutes.

ALMOND OLIVE OIL LEMON BUNDT CAKE image

Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 11

-- Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour + more for the pan
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup Greek plain full-fat yogurt
1 cup good-quality fruity extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
-- Grated zest of 4 lemons, about 3 tablespoons
-- Sliced strawberries and whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

Move a rack to the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°. Thoroughly coat a 9-cup (10-inch) bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Turn the pan upside down to drain off any pooling spray. Coat the sides, bottom, and tube with flour, rotating and tilting the pan to coat well. Invert the pan to let excess flour fall from the pan. (I grease and flour the pan in the sink or in an open dishwasher to contain the mess.) In a food processor, process the almonds with 1 cup of the flour until finely ground. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until combined. Whisk in the yogurt and then the olive oil. Add the flour-nut mixture, the remaining 1 cup flour, baking soda, salt and lemon zest; stir until well combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a bamboo skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Let cool on a rack for about 20 minutes. Unmold by giving the pan a sharp tap on the counter to help release the cake, then invert the pan onto a cake plate or platter. Cool fully before slicing with a serrated knife. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream.
