Gen Alphas in 15 years: "Cake hack: use butter instead of olive oil! It tastes amazing and it's easier!"
Jokes aside, I really don't get this whole olive oil thing. I've given it a few years. I like butter better.
I clicked on the link to get the recipe and it wouldn't show it without me entering my email address 😒
Can you used coconut oil with this cake.
I’ve made this before and it’s fantastic. Really surprising, because it looks so simple and like it would be dry, but it’s not.
Q: Would this work in a Bundt pan? I have all sizes of Bundt pans to choose from…
Dan sliding into the frame when he's introduced is my favorite moment
I've made this cake too many times to mention. It's a winner ever time. You can also garnish it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream or peaches work well too.
Union yes!
I was excited to make this olive oil cake but then when I saw the milk, I was put off. What’s the point of an olive oil cake with milk???!!! The whole point is that it’s non dairy! The milk is totally not necessary. Maybe add some fresh squeezed orange juice? Or at least some orange essence.
I make this cake all the time. At times for a change I add lavender. Delicious!!!
I hope it'll be alright if I use some vanilla flavoring. I was given a bottle of olive oil WITH vanilla in it and I've been looking for a way to use it. I like the texture of this version of the cake.
Looks delicious
I just made this cake today for the first time and everyone loved it! It came out so moist and exactly as Dan made it. Thank you for another great recipe! 😘😘
how much olive oil does this need? it looks like it might be 3/4 cup from the measuring cup when dan's pouring but i don't think it was mentioned in the video.
I didn't hear Dan say how much olive oil to use. Does anyone know?
what is quantity of oil
Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!
Oooo yummy it's beautiful and looks delicious 😋
What a great recipe! It was a great hit with my colleagues (even Olive oil haters) – also thanks to the great Olive oil from one of our Greek colleagues!
Is it me or did he leave out how much olive oil goes in? I think it’s 3/4 cup?
Was That 1 Cup of oil?
What brand of springform pan is that? It looks great with raised flat bottom for easy cake removal.
Made this for the first time today. I tip my hat to you for this amazing recipe. So easy and so delicious…tender and moist. It truly showcases the fruitiness of the olive oil. Dan, again you are the man!!! Well done!
What's the springform pan?
I just made it and it's amazing!!! I used a Rosemary olive oil with a side of lemon sauce. So fluffy and moist
That thing. Nah! Lol!!!
I think I'm gonna have to try and make this tonight. 🤤
How much olive oil did you add to the egg mixture? Also how much flour?
Lovely cake and easy to follow recipe. I have a really awesome Olive Oil with Lemon & Thyme recipe on my channel cake 🍰 I hope you check it out 🎦 https://youtu.be/G7CQd7E8HjU
