This tender and aromatic lemon and olive oil cake is the perfect snack, any time of day. Add toasted meringue to create a showstopping dessert! {Jump to Recipe}
I love to eat basically everything and anything, but if you were to quiz me on what my favorite flavors and/or treats are—my “last meal” picks—I would have to say lemon and meringue. Lemon is my ultimate favorite flavor and I love it just as much in savory as in sweet form. As for meringue, well let’s just say it’s my Achilles’ heel. I can generally keep a cool head over dessert, but I lose all self-control in front of a bowl of thick, cloud-like meringue.
So, if I were to pick one last thing to eat in this lifetime, it would just have to be a dessert that combines lemon and meringue—and luckily for me, the two are such a delightful match! Lemon Meringue Pie is my all-time favorite dessert, but I like to combine the two in other forms, such as cupcakes—or this absolutely stunning Lemon and Olive Oil Cake with Toasted Meringue.
