Instructions

• For the cake batter

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, and grease the parchment paper. Place the greased and lined springform pan on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and limoncello.
  4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk until just combined.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top. Place the pan (still on the baking sheet) in the oven, on a middle shelf.
  6. Bake the cake for approximately 75 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then run a thin knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the sides of the cake. Open the springform and turn out the cake onto a wire rack. Allow it to cool for 2 hours before slicing.
