Olive Oil Pound Cake (by Mrs. Maria Flora Monini)

  • Dessert
Ingredients
  • 4 EGGS
  • 6oz PLAIN YOGURT
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Monini Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 small pouch of dry yeast
Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix yogurt, sugar, flour and oil in a bowl with a wooden or silicon spatula.
When nice and smooth, add the yeast and incorporate in the mix.
Pour the mix in a baking classic round pan or a round Bundt pan (round pan with a hole in the middle), previously coated evenly with some olive oil.
Make sure to leave enough room in the pan for the cake to rise during cooking.
Place the baking pan in the oven and cook for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out dry.
When cooked, carefully remove cake from pan by placing serving dish on top of pan and turn upside down.
Let the cake cool and sprinkle confectionary sugar on top before serving.

Add an extra touch
A trickle of extra virgin olive oil as soon as the soup is ready or once it has been dished up, always completes a good soup. Perfect Monini GranFruttato.
