Awesome taste. Served with a Greek supper. It was light enough to go over well after the meal.

This cake is so great. It is best after it sets a couple days at room temp. Subtle lemon olive oil cake not to sweet but perfect in every way. Serve alone or with a few fresh berries.




MMMM!

This cake was so moist and tasteful, the olive oil lent lots of moisture, and a hint of olive oil taste, but didn't overpower the cake. Everyone asked for thirds!!! The cake was gone!!




Moist and tasty; can easily be baked in advance.

Cake raised beautifully. Don't be surprised, batter will be very runny. My oven has difficulty reaching and maintaining a constant temperature, so I baked the cake closer to 1 1/2 hours, covering the top with foil after the first hour to prevent burning. Loved the flavor, moistness, and crunch of the almonds. I used regular olive oil, light in color and flavor (and cheaper), but next time may use an extra virgin to see if there is a difference in flavor. Used a template on the top when I dusted with powdered sugar, and it was beautiful. This is certainly a cake you can bake in advance because of the moistness; it won't be dry if only cut a day or two later.




SIMPLY DELICIOUS

This is so simple and scrumptious. I followed the directions exactly .( I used vanilla extract instead of an orange liqueur as someone suggested.) No loss of flavor. I love the idea of a cake with olive oil and this one is perfect. I brought it for my book group and they all loved it! I will be baking it again tomorrow for a family brunch. Thanks for this, it is a keeper :)
