This is the Perfect, Breakfast, Snack or even Dessert Cake. So good.

With the arrival of Fall in Italy, comes grape picking and one of my favourites (because it’s less messy) olive picking.

And to tell the truth there is nothing like Fresh Olive Oil, well, ok my husband’s wine comes pretty darn close.

I have never made an Olive Oil Cake before, but I decided to give (a friend’s recipe) this Orange Olive Oil Cake a go. And believe me it is really worth a try and not just once.

Nothing better than a fast and easy cake that tastes amazing. I wanted to give it an extra boost of orange so I thought a simple powdered sugar glaze made with fresh squeezed orange juice would be perfect.

        This was a massive hit! Quite easy to whip up, beautiful sitting on a table, and beyond delicious! I did add a little fresh squeezed juice to the batter even though it didnt call for it.

        This would have to be the easiest cake I’ve ever made, and my whole family loves it! Made it (twice) exactly as you described, used a kitchen aid and it only needed like 30 seconds to a minute of beating to be smooth and perfect. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thanks so much. 💞
