Olive Oil Cake

This moist and tender cake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser with a subtle nutty and fruity flavor that only high-quality extra virgin olive oil can impart. It can be enjoyed as a simple snack with a cup of tea or coffee, or dressed up with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries for a show-stopping dessert.

Italian-born chef Nino Settepani purchased his first bakery in Manhattan while still a student at NYU. After graduating, he perfected his craft at the French Culinary Institute. He opened a traditional Italian bakery, Settepani, in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood in 1992, and it was such a success that a second location has been serving Harlem since 2000. Settepani has become more than just a restaurant or bakery; it’s a community gathering place where people come together to enjoy traditional Italian breads, pastries, cannoli, cakes, cookies, and more made with all-natural, organic ingredients.
