Preheat the oven to 350 and adjust the rack to the middle of the oven. Using Oliveziaโ€™s Lemon Olive Oil, grease and flour one 9" cake pan. Combine the eggs, sugar, Oliveziaโ€™s Lemon Olive Oil, vanilla, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk to thoroughly combine. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk to combine.


Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, whisking after each addition. Pour in to the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for five minutes in the pan and then gently run a knife around the side to loosen and invert onto a rack to fully cool.

Combine the strawberries, sugar, zest, and juice in a heavy saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 7 minutes, being careful that the contents do not boil over. Set aside and allow to thicken as it cools to room temperature before spreading over the cake. Dollop with whipped cream (optional).
