Lemon Olive Oil Cake

When life gives you lemons you make lemonade, or you can make lemon olive oil cake topped with candied lemons and pistachios. It’s a moist cake with a rich taste and a tangy bittersweet topping. The nuts add a slight bit of crunch for texture and added taste. I like to serve my cake with yogurt and more olive oil or honey.

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
