olive oil cake.

BEAUTIES!

i had all these great ideas of blood oranges and cara caras

sliced thin for the top but when it came down to it....

the kids wanted 'just cake, no topping'

it's so spongey and dense and fluffy and moist

you are going to love it!

i saw this cake on food 52

they call it genius

now i see why

it's what i love to bake

there is the wet

then the dry

put them together

throw them in the pan

put it in the oven

easy peasy

& in one hour

you have cake!

this one is gluten free! 

i used the raw dairy from the

market for the milk.. but i am sure you 

could substitute almond, rice or whatever you fancy!
