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.

Honk Magazine

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.

Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags.

The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
