Citrus Olive Oil Cake
Greeks like using olive oil in a lot of our cooking, including desserts. A fruity olive oil works well with this cake and the result is always moist.
Just a couple of days ago, I hosted my latest Greek Supper Club with a Spring theme (Anixi in Greek) and this cake was served as dessert. A nice surprise as it was your usual citrus flavoured cake Greeks are familiar with.
Finally, sometimes adding a few twists to a classic can elevate a dish. I smeared the bottom of plate with a lemon curd to reinforce the lemon flavour in the cake, dust the top of the cake with icing sugar, top with a dollop of whipped cream and throw some berries of your choice on the plate.
With a little creativity, a simple recipe can be elevated, enjoy!
