Lemon Olive Oil Cake
Lemon Olive Oil Cake
"Olive oil cake is a rich, moist cake that uses – you guessed it – olive oil rather than butter as the fat. Because olive oil provides a subtle savoriness, this cake tends to be less sweet than most cakes. It’s one that can be served with fruit for dessert or alongside morning coffee as a breakfast cake. While some other cakes and quick bread use oil rather than butter, olive oil provides the savory flavors of pepper and herbs. These subtle flavors pair deliciously with citrus and sugar for a simple cake this is wildly complex in flavor."
