Oh now this sounds good! Thanks for the post!


Looks great really great


Oh yes, this is my kind of cake. Great post.

I would only suggest extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil, the blends of evoo and honey make a perfect combination.


Yes, Extra Virgin Olive oil does work well, but for those who do not like the flavour of EVOO, vegetable oil does the trick!!!


I like the sound of this cake!


I'm glad you do. I have another one I am going to post that calls for a bit more honey.


This sounds good. Can't wait to try. Thank you for the post


Wonderful post, what memories that cake holds for me. I can't wait to surprize Dad with a cake all his own for Christmas. Thank you.


This sounds like magic!
