Level: Medium | Prep Time: 15-20 minutes | Cook Time: 1 hour | Serves: 10

This light and airy chiffon cake is infused with the vibrant essence of lemon and enriched by the smooth complexity of Pasolivo Lemon Olive Oil. It is delicately balanced with a hint of vanilla and a touch of Pasolivo Lemon Salt. The fresh lemon juice and zest add a bright, refreshing citrus flavor that carries through every bite.
