Olive oil cake sounds interesting, don’t you think? This type of cake is definitely not new but not a lot of people know about it.

Not really known where its main origin came from, this amazing confectionery has become popular in the western countries, mainly in the United States.

It has simple main ingredients but of course, olive oil cake tastes like olive oil. At first, you wouldn’t think that olive oil would taste good with sweets, but it does! Think about how people usually drink martinis with a side of olives. Not saying that’s how it exactly tastes like but you get the big picture.

This is why I love baking, it gives you so much room to explore new ideas and think of so many things that usually won’t go well together, work!

Since the main ingredient is olive oil, there won’t be any butter used in this recipe. One thing you have to know in baking is that oils (any kind) always add more moisture to your baked goods than butter. So without further ado, let’s get started, shall we?!

Important Note*

When dry ingredients are in, make sure to mix the batter slowly, careful not to overmix.
