Olive Oil Cake

I’m a sucker for a slice of cake.  Chocolate, vanilla, red velvet.  A slice, a mound with a molten center, or a cupcake.  Something about cake makes me feel like there’s something to celebrate.

I discovered olive oil cake a few years back.  I remembered being surprised with how light the cake is considering it uses olive oil for butter.  I haven’t made an olive oil cake in a long time, but when I saw the fresh berries starting to appear in the markets, I felt it was time to bring this one back.

Topping a slice with some fresh berries is an easy yet elegant dessert that your friends will love!

Note: This is the New York Times recipe. I've found it is the best recipe and makes a great cake every time.
