I love this lemon olive oil cake because it is so simple and delicious. It uses olive oil instead of butter which makes it incredibly moist and gives it a lovely fruity flavor. My kids love it for an after school snack and it is perfect for a quick breakfast or a light dessert. The lemon adds a bright fresh taste that works well any time of year. Plus olive oil has healthy fats so I feel a little better about serving it to my family.
