When making an olive oil cake the quality of the olive oil also makes a big difference!!!! probably the most important aspect.

I followed the recipe to a 'T'(with the exception that I did add the additional juice from supreming the oranges - perhaps I should not have). I baked it for extra time and when I turned it out of the pan, a large portion stuck to the bottom of the pan, it did not rise well, and the olive oil taste was very strong - wondering if you had any suggestions for my next try??!!<br /><br />Thanks so much,<br />CydCydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613812917130165203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-70674314824775173102010-05-27T17:09:30.357-07:002010-05-27T17:09:30.357-07:00I have some blood orange olive oil from Stella Cad...I have some blood orange olive oil from Stella Cadente i have been waiting to use... this is perfect!<br />Your photos are incredible!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-62201990447383309312010-03-21T07:07:35.702-07:002010-03-21T07:07:35.702-07:00This recipe is great and since this is blood orang...This recipe is great and since this is blood orange season,i'll definitely give a go and add some of the zest as welltundehttp://www.1morespoon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-4139114545106210072010-03-07T15:03:49.575-08:002010-03-07T15:03:49.575-08:00I had my first blood oranges at a little stand out...I had my first blood oranges at a little stand outside of Pompeii it was love at first taste!! what a great recipe...cant wait to try itChef Dennis Littleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388059515828451861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-77425475754461859602010-02-28T10:48:02.377-08:002010-02-28T10:48:02.377-08:00i am a fan of olive oil which I purchase from the ...i am a fan of olive oil which I purchase from the producer !! and i also use it in cakes so I am not surprised of the success of your recipe !!
