Key Lime and Olive Oil Cake with Key Lime Pie Drizzle
A while support, I visited an Italian bakery known as Fatto In Casa (“Italian for Homemade”) here in Orlando. I turned into smitten with their lemon and olive oil cake, and after I purchased home, I attempted recipe after recipe in an attempt to reproduction it. After 4 quite a complete lot of recipes, I turned into a tiny bit bored to demise in lemon, so I pulled out a jar of key lime juice that my mother gave me.
I swapped in key lime juice for lemon juice, after which as soon as the cake turned into frigid, I stirred some more key lime juice correct into a cup of sweetened condensed milk and drizzled it over the pinnacle. The aggregate of the flippantly sweet cake plus the creamy sweet/tart drizzle made my day.
The distinctive recipe for Olive Oil Cake and a lemon variation came from the Boston Globe, but as you’ll appreciate in my version, I’ve made plenty of adjustments.

Suggestions for Making Olive Oil Cake
- Gain a refined flavored extra virgin olive oil, and steer clear of olive oils with a “peppery” intention. Whereas you’re now not sure, style the oil straight. If it’s largely buttery tasting with a contact of grassiness or olive style, you’re living. If it bowls you over with solid olive style and/or spiciness, it’s too solid. Trace a bottle that mentions “refined” style, but dwell follow extra virgin olive oil, now not the decrease grades.
- Let this cake frigid entirely earlier than serving, and wrap it up airtight at room temperature to store. It in actual fact retains thoroughly if wrapped tightly, bettering in style over time.
- Whereas you are taking a more tart drizzle, that you just can add more key lime juice; correct soak up tips that the more juice you add, the runnier this would possibly per chance per chance merely gain.
