Blood Orange & Almond Olive Oil Cake
sweets / baking
This cake is like a citrusy, sticky biscotti with the sweet orange topping, crunchy almonds, and the most moist olive oil cake.
I used a mix of blood orange and navel oranges for a prettier pattern, but you can use any sort of orange citrus. This is one of my favorite desserts to make, not because it’s actually gorgeous and impressive looking, but the taste is UNMATCHED. Using olive oil in my baking is one of my favorite ways to get a richer, moister texture. I thought almonds and almond extract would pair so nicely with both the olive oil and the orange.
