Orange Olive Oil Cake

On this episode, Stephanie bakes a simple and delicious orange olive oil cake. The orange flavor is intense, the smell is wonderfully floral, and the taste is fruity and slightly sweet with just a little bit of texture from the almond flour added—this is truly a keeper recipe.
