Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until they are frothy and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sugar gradually to the beaten eggs, continuing to beat on medium speed until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, olive oil, almond milk, and lemon zest to the egg mixture, and blend on low speed until just incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding in with a spatula until there are no visible streaks of flour. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Serve plain or with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar or fresh fruit.
