Lemon Basil Olive Oil Cake

You may think of this as a classic lemon olive oil cake, but then each bite has the sweet and aromatic notes of basil. Doesn’t it sound delicious?! This cake is very soft, moist, supple and lemony. It’s the cake for lemon lovers because it has lemon juice and lemon zest all over it! The cake itself is made in less than 45 minutes, including prep time, and you only need a few basic ingredients to make it. A super creamy buttercream with a touch of lemon and cream cheese is, literally, the icing on the cake!
