Despite the fall like temps here in Calgary this weekend, I thought I would whip up a light, bright and Spring-y Lemon Olive Oil Cake for brunch this morning … my attempt at willing the weather to change with food … stranger things have happened 😉

This cake is the perfect Sunday morning treat, easy to make and pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee. Whether you use extra virgin or regular olive oil, it doesn’t matter! There are many different types of olive oil out there, so just do a little research on products like Gundry MD Olive Oil and many more, to find out which one will benefit you the most by being in you cupboard.

Although I have no issues with wheat – as you’ve probably noticed from my posts 😉 … My girlfriend who was visiting over the weekend, follows a wheat free diet.  Her visit inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and attempt a flour-less cake – to which truth be told, I normally think – why even bother!  But because I adore my girlfriend, who is truly my soul-sister, and nothing brings me more joy than baking for house guests, I put my judgements aside and gave it a go.

Pause while I peel my jaw off the floor … I am absolutely beside myself over how amazing this cake turned out – moist, decadent and delicious – you don’t even miss the flour!  And it’s so easy!
