Chef's Notes

This is a family favorite because it's sweet enough for the kids but sophisticated enough for the adults. The olive oil keeps the cake incredibly moist for days! If you don't have a springform pan, a regular 9-inch cake pan works just fine—just be sure to grease it well. For an extra pop, serve each slice with a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with a little honey.
