Olive Oil is a great ingredient to use in cakes and breads, and is often done so by prominent chefs! Using the best quality olive oil yields better nutrition and higher polyphenols. This cake is perfect for low carb, especially Keto based diets, presenting low carb and good fats! The cake came out dense and delicious, and the olive oil wasn’t too over powering. This olive oil cake has become my new favorite dessert and I know it will become yours too.
