It's really easy! I got my version from Hanne Blank, adapted from Kim Boyce.

325F, until toothpick comes out clean and top is nicely browned (or 375, if you have a terrible oven like mine; it usually takes 45 min or so)

4 eggs
1c sugar
(cream these two)

3/4c olive oil
3c flour
generous pinch salt
(beaten until au ruban)

1T baking powder
flavorings

I've left out the baking powder, and also forgotten to grease the pan, and the cake didn't care a whit. The batter tends to the very thick, which is good because a cup of fruit juice/pulp loosens it nicely. Citrus juice/zest, a couple T of whatever booze you like, a T or so of vanilla...it's all good. Coarsely chopped dark chocolate is also a hit.
