Tämä Vegaaninen oliiviöljykakku is an easy one-bowl spongy vanilla cake with a hint of lemon and a delicious, moist olive oil crumb. If you love the subtle flavor of olive oil, you are in for a treat.
Olive oil cakes have been among my favorite cakes for ages, almost as high as my Munaton banaanikakku. It’s a classic European recipe, usually made with three eggs, so it’s typically not vegan. However, this vegan version is unbelievably close to the authentic olive oil cake with a fluffy, spongy, moist crumb perfect with a cup of tea.

Ravitsemus
Ainesosat ja vaihdot
All you need to make this tasty olive oil cake are:
- Extra neitsytoliiviöljy – Choose a light olive oil flavor if you are not sure you will enjoy the olive oil flavor in the cake. In fact, olive oil flavors range from 1 (light) to 5 (strong), and you can pick one that is light to start with.
- Sokeroimaton omenasose – You can also use mashed banana if you prefer.
- Sokeri – Any crystal sugar works, from classic sugar to coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is less refined, so it’s generally considered a healthier alternative.
- Ruokasooda ja Leivinjauhetta – to give the cake some rise.
- Tuorepuristettu sitruunamehu – You can also use bottled lemon or even lime juice.
- Sitruunan kuori – For color and flavor.
- Maitoton maito – The mild-flavored plant-based milk is the best, like almond milk or oat milk. However, coconut milk or soy milk will also work very well.
- Yleisjauho – or white spelt flour. For a gluten-free version, use my gluteenittoman ruokavalion muuntamisopas.
- Vaniljauute – maun vuoksi.
How To Make Vegan Olive Oil Cake
It’s so easy to make an cake with olive oil cake! Even if you never baked a vegan cake recipe before, you will be sure to success with this one-bowl cake recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the sides and bottom with an oil spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, olive oil, applesauce, almond milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
- Then, fold in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and whisk to combine evenly. The olive oil cake batter should be smooth and runny with no lumps.
- Pour the cake batter into the pan.
- Bake the cake on the center rack for 40 to 45 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the top is nicely golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. If still wet and the top turns brown too fast, place a piece of foil on the cake pan. Keep baking in extra 5-minute bursts, checking often with a clean toothpick until dry and set.
- Let the cake cool down 5 minutes in the cake pan.
- Then, release the cake on a cooling rack for a few hours or until it reaches room temperature.
Tarjoilu
Serve the cake plain or decorate the cake with:
- A dust of powdered sugar
- Fresh fruits like fresh blueberries or fresh lemon slices
- Sliced almonds – better to add these on top of the unbaked cake so they stick to the top of the cake.
If you prefer, make a batch of my vegan royal icing recipe, add in some lemon juice instead of almond milk. Then, drizzle on the cooled cake or on the slice before serving.
Varastointiohjeet
This vegan olive oil cake recipe can be stored for up to 4 days in the fridge in a sealed cake box. You can also freeze the cake whole or in slices in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw the cake at room temperature just before serving.
