Optional Finishing Touch: Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar or create a simple glaze using powdered sugar and citrus juice.
Why make cakes with olive oil?
Using olive oil when baking cakes gives the finished product a unique flavor, moisture content, and suppleness. Olive oil is a nice change from neutral oils because of its distinct fruity and peppery nuances that enhance the flavor. Because it has heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, it’s a heart-healthy option. Because of its adaptability, olive oil may be used in a variety of cake recipes by experimenting with different flavors. It also acts as a dairy-free substitute, accommodating different dietary requirements and adding to a richer, more flavorful dessert.
