I plan on trying this recipe tomorrow:

You'd think that someone whose in-laws have an olive grove would have eaten olive oil cake before, wouldn't you? Nope! I've never had it (to the extent of my knowledge). I'm really excited to see how it turns out. I feel like our home-made olive oil is too strong for a dessert, though... I don't know whether I should try it with the store bought stuff first, or with home-made oil. I feel like home-made oil would just overpower the cake.
