Dear Ivy, I just got back from visiting my sister and bro/in/law, and we all LOVED the olive cake! We ate it as a side with grilled bluefish, a big salad and roasted rosemary potatoes; it stood up proudly to a big red wine. Wonderful recipe, I will certainly make it again!

Hi lagoulue. I usually make it either in a cake tin, in that case I use a 26 - 28 cm (10 inch) baking tin or in a loaf tin 4 inch x 8 (makes 2).
Check this out as well. You may like it.

Hi Ivy, I will be making this cake for my sister and brother-in-law next weekend. I have one more question: what size/shape baking pan do you recommend, for the most attractive presentation? Should the cake be low and wide, like a foccacia, or tall like a loaf? Please advise. Thanks!

Oh my God, I saw this recipe and the ingredient list alone has my mouth watering! (One question, is one glass the same as one cup?) Olives are maybe my favorite food item in all the world -- can't wait to make this recipe! Thanks for sharing it.
