HOW TO MAKE LEMON OIL

Steps:

• Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water and leave them for 2 hours to dry completely.
• Peel the skin of the lemons and keep the fruit pulp separate. You may keep the pulp to make lemon juice, lemon tart, or any other lemon recipe later. Make sure that the peel you've removed does not contain fruit pulp or the bitter white pith attached to it. Lemon oil can only be prepared with the lemon peel.
• Grate the lemon peel in a bowl or any other container. This will provide a better surface area. You may skip this step if you feel you have peeled it fine enough.
• Put the peel into a glass jar container, having an air-tight lid. To avoid any chemical reactions, the glass jar is the most preferred.
• Put the extra virgin olive oil in the jar, stir well, and close the lid.
• Place the jar in a dry place for 1-2 weeks. Keep shaking the jar at least once every day.
• Strain the oil into another glass jar using a strainer.
• Store it in a dark place away from sunlight.
• Wash the lemons and pat them dry using a paper towel. Leave it for another half an hour to dry completely.
• Peel each lemon, make sure not to remove the bitter white pith along with the zest.
• Put the lemon in a small pot and pour the coconut oil over it.
• Heat the oil and bring it to simmer for 5 mins, then allow it to cool.
• Strain the oil into an airtight glass jar and store it in a dark room or the refrigerator.

LEMON OLIVE OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Coat the parchment with cooking spray.
• Thinly slice 2 lemons and remove the seeds; set aside for topping. Grate the zest of 2 lemons. Squeeze enough of the lemons to measure 1/2 cup juice.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat 1 cup granulated sugar, the olive oil, eggs, lemon zest, 1/4 cup lemon juice and the vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until combined, about 1 minute.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 40 minutes in the pan, then remove to the rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Put the lemon slices in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then drain. Return the lemon slices to the saucepan and repeat the boiling process two more times. Return the lemon slices to the saucepan and add 1 cup water, the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the liquid gently simmers; cook until the liquid is syrupy and the lemon slices are tender and translucent, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Make the glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl until smooth, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice if the glaze is too thick. Spoon the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Remove the candied lemon slices from the syrup, letting the excess drip back into the saucepan. Arrange on top of the cake.
