The Best Olive Oil Cake
This tempting cake is truly one of my favorites! It’s what I plan to make for Christmas because we love it so much.
In a way the flavors are reminiscent to that of pound cake, but with a delectable olive oil infused flavor all it’s own (rather than butter flavor). Then the cake is fluffier with a texture closer to a classic birthday cake.
The recipe includes bolder olive oil for great taste, cake flour for a light and fluffy texture, fresh lemon for an added background flavor, and it’s finished with toppings of choice.
Or you can just eat it plan because it’s just that good!
I personally prefer pairing with fresh fruit or a fresh fruit sauce and whipped cream. Sometimes you’ll see it sprinkled with a few tablespoons granulated sugar before baking, or other times recipes will add a frosting (such as lemon or mascarpone) or a simple glaze (such as lemon or vanilla) after it is completed.
Lots of options to finish or even just use powdered sugar for a pretty and delicate, snowy finish.
It’s a simple, humble cake that doesn’t need much. Yet it’s a cake that never disappoints! A classic dessert that’s truly worthy of your holiday menu.
