INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Spray an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and set aside to settle for 5 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, combine sugar and olive oil in a large bowl. Whisk in milk mixture.
5. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the milk mixture that we prepared earlier and stir until just mixed.
6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 minutes.
