Here’s What to Bake So You Stop Election Day Doomscrolling
Three of our favorite baking recipes to occupy your racing mind….
Ingredients
3⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus
more for the pan
3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted,
plus more for the pan
1 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Whipped cream, for serving
Berries, for serving
Toasted nuts, honey, or jam, for serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round cake pan with olive oil and line the bottom with parchment paper. Oil the parchment and flour the pan, tapping out any excess flour.
In an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat 1⁄2 cup sugar with the lemon juice and zest, egg yolks, and vanilla extract on medium speed until incorporated. Add four, in 4 additions, making sure it is incorporated between each addition. With the mixer running, gradually
drizzle in the olive oil. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is evenly incorporated. Transfer the batter to a large bowl. Wash and dry whisk attachment and mixer bowl.
With the mixer on high, beat together the egg whites and salt until foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. With the mixer running, gradually add the remaining 1⁄2 cup of sugar. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to stir one third of the egg white mixture into batter to lighten, then fold in the remaining egg white mixture in 2 additions until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until the top of the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack and cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to release the sides from the pan. Invert onto a plate, remove parchment, and then onto the rack right side up to cool completely.
Serve with whipped cream, berries, toasted nuts, honey, jam, or whatever you have in your kitchen.
