  • 1¼ cup Heavy cream
  • ¾ cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 8 oz. Mascarpone cheese, softened

Directions

Prep the oven

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F/180° C.

Make the batter

  1. In a Thatsa medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In the Whip 'N Mix Chef, add eggs, cover and beat on gear I until eggs are pale and frothy.
  2. Add sugar and lemon zest to the eggs, switch to gear II and mix until combined.
  3. Attach the funnel to the cover then pour olive oil into the funnel and slowly mix on gear II until all the oil is gone. Add half of the flour mixture to the mixture and slowly mix on gear II until mostly combined. Using the funnel, pour in the milk and slowly mix just until milk is incorporated, then add the remaining flour mixture and mix again.

Bake

  1. Pour batter into loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-60 min. or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.

Make the Mascarpone Whipped Cream
