Lemon Olive Oil Cake

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit
combine oat flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder into a bowl, put to the side
In a large mixing bowl beat together the coconut sugar and eggs, mixing in one egg at a time
Once those are throughly combined, slowly add in the lemon olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract
Blend into a smooth texture, then slowly incorporate in the dry ingredients into your batter
Spray or line a 9 inch round baking pan with parchment paper
Pour your batter into the pan
Bake for 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven the bake time may be shorter
When your cake has a golden brown color and the sides are pulling away from the pan, it’s time to take it out!
Wait 10-15 minutes before removing the cake from the pan, onto a cooling rack

If you would like to skip the frosting , dust some powdered sugar on top and serve!

In the bowl of a hand or standing mixer, begin beating 8 oz mascarpone cheese on medium high speed, until mascarpone becomes fluffy.
Continue mixing and add the 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Add in one cup confectioners sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Be careful not to over mix, the frosting will curdle.
Turn the mixer up to high speed, very slowly add in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until the frosting is light and fluffy. Again, careful not to over mix.
Now that you have your frosting, add in the 1 tbsp of strawberry balsamic, be sure to do this step slowly by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Taste test!! Add more strawberry balsamic if desired.
Make sure your cake is completely cooled before frosting.
Serve and ENJOY ! ( we love it paired with a cup of coffee )
