Spiced Orange Olive Oil Cake

CategoryDifficultyBeginner

The holiday season is often a busy season for baking, but the treats you’re prepping don’t need to be difficult. This olive oil cake recipe doesn’t require a stand mixer, and the batter comes together with a whisk in just minutes. With Durant Orange Fused Olive Oil for great moisture and bright citrus flavor, along with a touch of baking spice to make it more complex, it’s the ideal no-fuss dessert to slice and serve for a special occasion. - Recipe courtesy of Molly Allen
