    I did try twice before, and yes, it collapsed. Followed the recipe the first time, so added 15min more in the second try. The cake came much better but collapsed also. My third attempt, decided to keep in the oven for 1h 15 min, leaving inside for at least 10 min more (oven off. Came out with a nice crust, collapsed a little this time. I have the feeling that the missing ingredient is the baking powder. In my country we have a similar one (orange rather than wine, and the recipe includes this item.

    Awesome cake! I didn't have any sweet sherry on hand and couldn't find any in my local store, so I opted to use orange juice. Well, it came out awesome and totally complemented the blueberries! The mascarpone topped it all off to even out the sweetness of the blueberries. I would definitely make this again!

    this was a really good cake, just a little eggy
    but it is really bland without some kind of sauce, so make it it is worth it.

    I'm certain I didn't do something correctly.... either didn't whip the egg whites long enough or didn't incorporate them well enough... since my cake was VERY oddly shaped :(
    The taste was outstanding, but my presentation was not. Couldn't find the Vin Santo at my grocery store and I do not believe the sweet sherry I chose was good enough. I might try a liqueur instead? The blueberry sauce got rave reviews! I will try again. LOVE ANNE!

    Great cake - had a few olive oil cakes in 4-star NYC restaurants, and this one was every bit as good, but oh so much more satisfying since I made it. Couldn't find a meyer lemon, so used zest of orange and lemon. Agree with the comment re using foil if it browns too quickly. And strongly agree with the person who admonished another for giving low scores even though the person didn't even try the recipe. C'mon people - let's be fair. if you don't like Anne, change the channel. But in my world - she ROCKS.

    I'm an avid baker . . and NO! Didn't like the olive oil in a desert. Phewy! Came out dense - like a brick - without flavor. Liked the blueberries though!

    Anne's free spirit is what makes this show so great and a must see for me. As for the recipes, everyone that I have tried, including this olive oil cake, have been spot on. I have been cooking for over 50 years and yet I still am able to learn something from Anne's tips. Helpful tip to Emily. You have a computer so if you write the recipe down or print it out you would have the ingredients in the proper amount and that might help you.
