Instrucțiuni

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly coat a 9” round cake pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with brown sugar and evenly scatter the sliced almonds. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Create a well in the flour mixture and add the olive oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon zest and juice. Whisk into the flour mixture until just combined and no flour streaks remain.

Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.

Carefully flip the cake onto a serving plate, almond side up. Combine the powdered sugar and ground cardamom and dust over the cake before serving, if desired.
