There is a specific golden hour in Sorrento where the sun hits the water and the air smells like a mix of briny sea salt and sweet lemons from the terraced groves. I wanted to bottle that feeling for you. These little cakes are humble but rich, using good olive oil to keep them moist and tender, just like Nonna used to make for Sunday afternoon coffee. We finish them with a bright pop of lemon salt to cut the sweetness and bring that coastal memory right to your table.

Made to serve: 1-2
Scale:

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Water
  • 1–2 tsp Salted Perfection Lemoncello Garnishing Salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two large ramekins or a small loaf pan generously with a little oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
  3. In a separate cup or small bowl, whisk the egg, extra virgin olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spoon just until the flour disappears. Do not overmix, or the cooking process will make the cakes tough.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared vessels.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool slightly.
  7. While the cakes cool, whisk the powdered sugar and water in a small bowl to create a thick glaze.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cakes.
  9. Immediately sprinkle the Salted Perfection Lemoncello Garnishing Salt over the wet glaze so it sticks and shines. DUNZO!

Tony’s Fine Print

They tell me every recipe needs a little fine print, so here’s mine. I do my best to keep things straight, no surprises and no sneaky allergens. The info you see here is put together with care, capisce? But kitchens are wild places and ingredients do not always behave. Always double-check the labels on what you buy, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. If something does not look right, trust your gut (and your doctor) before you trust me. Bottom line: I am here to guide, not to diagnose. You cook, you taste, you take responsibility.

Deal? Good. Now let’s eat.
