Santa Barbara county’s 1st extra virgin olive oil producer going into my 25th year in 2023…that cake recipe is one I can taste reading the ingredients, almost without making. But I will make it. Thinking of throwing in chopped tarragon, using a peppery Extra V. Thanks for sharing. Those chefs you didn’t write about~it’s ok. I recently picked up our local Santa Barbara Independent featuring female farmers of the region. I was offended at first not to be included, especially with my history. Then I thought, hey comes with the territory at my age. People are more interested in pix of sexy women in expensive boots. I frequently work in flip flops and have white hair. Doesn’t make for the best photo. When successful people don’t get coverage again and again, we know our worth when clients like you keep coming back, making us come back too. That’s the real coverage!

I first discovered the olive oil citrus cake in Molly Wizenberg’s blog “Orangette”. The recipe she used came from the Booneville Hotel in the Anderson Valley. Her recipe is almost word for word to the one you have referenced here. I love the way that recipes get bounced around over the years. Whatever it’s provenance, it’s a delicious cake. I have made it many times with great success.
