This scrumptious olive oil cake is one of our new favorites! It is moist and flavorful, with light citrus notes from the olive oil and lemon. It stays tender and luscious for days. If you have never made an olive oil cake, this is a must! You will love every bite. It is just that darn good. Take my advice, and make sure you get yourself a nice-sized piece before your family devours it. If you like this moist and tender cake, try carrot cake, cream cheese pound cake, and zucchini cake.
