¾ cup olive oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup cake flour
Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
5 large egg yolks
¾ cup plus 1½ tablespoons sugar
4 large egg whites
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup fresh sliced mango
½ pint fresh raspberries
Position oven rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with olive oil. Aline bottom of pan with a round of parchment paper and oil paper. In a mixing bowl whisk flour with lemon zest; set aside. In bowl of an electric mixer bowl, beat egg yolks and ½ cup sugar on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until thick and pale. Reduce speed to medium and add ¾ cup of olive oil and lemon juice, beating until just combined. Using a spatula, fold in flour mixture until just combined. In a clean, dry mixing bowl of an electric mixture, fitted with the whisk attachment, add salt and beat egg whites on medium-high speed until just foaming. Add ¼ cup sugar, a little at a time, beating until egg whites just hold soft peaks. Fold a third into the batter to lighten it, and then fold in remaining whites. Transfer batter to pan, and tap on countertop to release any air bubbles. Sprinkle top with 1½ tablespoons sugar and place in oven. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until cake is puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minute. Run a knife around edge to release sides. Cool for about an hour or until room temperature. Remove bottom of pan and peel off paper. Transfer to a serving plate and top with Mango Cream. Garnish with mango slices and raspberries.
