This olive oil cake blew our socks off. To begin with, we found it difficult to imagine using olive oil instead of butter. But oh WOW! Thanks to the olive oil, the cake is incredibly moist and juicy. The orange juice gives the cake a fruity kick and the thyme sugar adds a satisfying crunch. You. Must. Try. It. It's definitely a new favourite of ours.
