Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 7-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, eggs, oat milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix.
-
Gently fold in the floured raspberries and chopped thyme using a spatula.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, top with fresh raspberries and a light dusting of icing sugar.
