    My daughter and I made this on Mother's Day. We swapped whole wheat pastry flour for half of the white flour and only baked it about 22 minutes. It was very, very good. We both think it would be a good cake to eat at tea time.

    YUMMMM ! Just love this cake, simple to make and it is perfect for a nice dinner desert, even "breakfast". After baking it the first time..it was gone by evening, I served this to friends and the wanted the recipe before they went home! The cake comes out nice every time I have made it.

    Love this recipe! This recipe is simple, easy and great when you need a dessert in a hurry... I add a bit more orange juice and zest than called for and I top with a drizzle of Gran Marnier spiked semi sweet chocolate and some fresh whipped cream... mmmm, mmmm, good!

    I love this recipe! I made it right after I saw the episode. I have always wanted to make an olive oil cake and I think what convinced me was how little oil is used compared to other recipes I have seen-I didnt even have vanilla on hand and it still came out really well. The cake was light and airy and gone within hours. I love the idea of adding cherry preserves to the middle. I cant wait to try different flavors like lemon etc.

    As soon as I watched this episode I knew I wanted to make this cake. Fortunately it has basic ingredients I always have in the house so I was able to try it right away. I liked that it was dairy free since I can't eat dairy. It was quick to put together and baked up perfectly. Very tasty. My husband raved about it. The only thing that I would put as a negative was that it was a little on the dry side served as is. I brushed it with a little organge juice and it was perfect. A definite make again dessert.

    I thought it tasted good too, and it's so easy that my 11-year old daughter made it mostly by herself, with me checking on her a little. I told her to add an extra TBSP. of orange juice, which made it a little more "orangy" but the flavor was still mild. I like extra orange flavor, so I spread orange marmalade on top, after she baked it.

    OMG delish!! Hubbs is a diabetic so I substituted Splenda- this cake did not even last 36 hours in our house! Sent mom a generous slice and her feedback was she wanted an entire one to herself. This was quick delicious and ohhh so easy!

    Cake was very good. I couldn't get the center to get done. I had to cook for 25 min and the center collapsed a little. Still tasted very good. Would probably add more zest the next time. Texture was great.Whipped cream would really be good on this. Someone else suggested preserves and whipped cream and that sounds great. Will make this again soon
