There is something rather comforting about a warm yellow cake peppered with tiny flecks of black. The addition of extra virgin olive oil may seem odd so you’ll have to trust us here. We really enjoy the herbaceous and savoury note it adds to the cake — reminds us of sunny afternoons and alfresco dining. Serve dusted in icing sugar with a side of whipped mascarpone cream. Enjoy with a freshly brewed herbal tea — or limoncello!
