Prosecco, Lemon and Olive Oil Cake

Preheat the oven to 180˚C.

Drizzle: Combine the juice and caster sugar in a bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.

Cake: Beat the eggs and sugar in an electric mixer until very thick and pale.

Combine the lemon zest and juice, Prosecco and both the oils in a bowl. Add to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Divide evenly between the tins and bake for 20 minutes until golden in colour and firm to the touch.

Remove from the oven and while still hot, brush the drizzle over the top of both cakes. When the cakes are cold remove from the tins and peel off the lining paper.
