Notes

  • Storage: The cake will keep for 4 days in an airtight container. If frosted, it needs to be kept refrigerated.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cake for up to 3 months. Store in a freezer safe container or aluminum foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight before decorating or serving.
  • Substitutions: Use cake flour rather than all purpose flour for an extra fluffy cake. Do not substitute the olive oil.
