كيك زيت الزيتون

Moist without being greasy is exactly what I was hoping for, and the texture is surprisingly light for a pound cake. This slice held up beautifully on a picnic, staying tender even after a couple hours out of the fridge. Perfect for anyone who wants a dessert that isn't cloying.

I was worried olive oil cake would taste too savory, but this one is just barely sweet with a soft, tender crumb. It held up great for a few days on the counter and sliced cleanly for guests.

The crumb on this is so moist it almost feels like a custard in the middle. I've been cutting thin slices with coffee all week and the olive oil keeps it from tasting heavy.
