who puts olive oil in a cake?
Us.
It sounded crazy to us at first, too. Then we tried it…
Now we’re never going back.

We love a beautifully decorated cake. We even appreciate a crazy themed cake. But cakes aren’t really our thing. At least that was the case until we discovered the olive oil cake.
No, it doesn’t taste like olive oil. But replacing the usual butter or oil with a high quality olive oil makes this cake exceptionally moist and tender. The subtle floral and fruit notes in good olive oil also help highlight interesting flavors, like the grapefruit and cardamom in Kate’s Cake. It even takes a chocolate cake to a whole new level.
The sweetest of beginnings, on a beautiful spring day.
