4 Olive Oil Cakes To Bake This Weekend
|
Hello Reader, I must admit, I am not much of a baker! I really hate "following" a recipe. But... if I am going to bake, it’s going to be one of my simple olive oil cakes. No mixer required, no complicated techniques and no spending hours in the kitchen covered in flour. There is something I love so much about baking with olive oil. It creates cakes that are soft, rich and incredibly moist while also bringing that Mediterranean style of baking I grew up around into my own kitchen. And the best part? Most of these recipes come together in one bowl with ingredients you probably already have at home. So if you are looking for a little weekend baking inspiration, here are a few of my favourite olive oil cakes to make with a coffee in hand and music playing in the background. 👇 You can find all recipes below! xoxo Daen 🫒🍰 Olive Oil Cakes 🫒🍰 |

Crispy, fluffy, buttery and comforting, they can turn even the simplest meal into something special. In my house, potatoes are never an afterthought. They're often the reason people ask for seconds. So if you're looking for some dinner inspiration...
Hi Reader, There is something about baking focaccia that feels incredibly therapeutic. Maybe it's pressing your fingertips into the dough and watching those little pockets form. Maybe it's the generous drizzle of olive oil. Or maybe it's simply the smell that fills your home as it bakes. Whatever it is, focaccia has become one of my favourite things to make when I need a moment to slow down. This week, I thought I would round up a few of my favourite focaccia recipes. Some are savoury, some...
