"In this recipe, the classic Sicilian lemon cake gets a vegan makeover! Using only a few ingredients that are likely in your pantry already, our version makes the simple recipe even more accessible by using a loaf tin. Extra virgin olive oil adds moisture and the distinctively green, rounded flavor that will compliment the lemony tang. Chopped pistachios are optional for decoration but will add the nutty texture and elevate your presentation. For the bright color and zesty bite: don't shy away from using full 1-1.5 lemons for the batter!"
