I am very late to this party, but wanted to leave a review because I liked this cake so, so much. I made it gluten free using measure for measure flour, and it is frankly indistinguishable from regular (I am not the gluten free person in my household so I have a good frame of reference). The cake is rich and soft and almost a poundcake-like texture, and is still good just about a week on. I had an issue with my buttercream breaking, but it was an error on my end (meringue still too warm when I started adding butter), and was resolved by spending a night in the fridge then beating it to bring it back together. Texture ended up perfect for piping. I will note that I used about twice the amaretto recommended to get the flavor I was looking for, and filled my layers with ganache instead of as written. But this cake is seriously a keeper.

This cake is delicious! Could the better be used for cupcakes and if so would any changes need to be made.

Thank you!

This looks amazing! I’ve been making the loaf cakes from the Milk St Kitchen cookbook. This week was the Pistachio Cardamom cake for Teacher Appreciation week. It was delicious! Another olive oil cake that it easy and delicious. The French Spice cake was also delicious, next up is the Brown Butter Cardamom Banana Bread.

Just want to let you know that this post never came through in my email. Last one I received was the chocolate olive oil cake. Not sure why…

The cake part was great! I tried to make the icing twice, though, and both times it came out looking curdled at the very end.
