Orange Olive Oil Cake
This moist and fragrant orange olive oil cake combines the richness of olive oil with the bright, zesty flavor of fresh oranges, creating a perfect balance of citrus and earthy depth. Made with almond flour and all-purpose flour, it has a tender crumb and a subtly nutty, citrus-infused finish.
