olive oil cake

for easter with the in-laws i want to make an authentic italian olive oil cake like the ones i've had in restaurants. i found a few recipes, but there's a lot of variety and i'm not sure which one to trust.

anyone have a good recipe for this? one that is dense and fruity with olive oil and light citrus? this is how they've always been when i've had them.

updated below with recipe :)

Re: olive oil cake

Have you checked Giada on the food network website? I have a recipe for Olive Oil muffins in one of her cookbooks so she may have something on there.

Re: olive oil cake

thanks! i found a recipe from her for almond citrus olive oil cake. i have to figure out how to get rid fo the 2/3 cup almonds from the recipe and then convert the baking time for cupcakes...

tho giada prob IS the best lady for the job.

Re: olive oil cake

so i ended up using this
recipe (if anyone is interested)

i made cupcakes out of it, and iced them with an orange/mascarpone cream cheese icing (8oz mascarpone, 1 stick butter, tbs orange zest, 1/2 squeezed lemon, tsp vanilla, 1 cup powdered sugar)

SO YUM! can wait to bring them to the in-laws for easter.
