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.
Smitten she is clearly a genius (photography wise for sure). Olive oil cakes are so risky though, I had a colleague that tried to learn to make it on us. At the third tentative somebody told her not to. It always came out tasting rather oily. She was using the best home-made oil by her father, from Abruzzo, about your latitude I imagine.

Your intuition might be ... precious?
