Olive Oil Cake with Cherry Compote
In this recipe, olive oil imparts richness and moisture to a simple sponge cake. The flavor of the oil is subtle and slightly fruity, and your guests may never guess your secret ingredient. The ruby red cherry compote delivers a wonderful splash of color and sweet-tart flavor.

Unique and delicious

I was unsure about which type of olive oil to use but I went ahead and used "The Good Kind" (extra virgin, cold pressed, dark green) and did not regret it. I was worried about the intense flavor throwing the others off balance but it did not. The flavors blended perfectly.
I am not typically a dessert lover because the flavors are often one-toned but this one is a winner with its multiple flavors playing off of each other beautifully.
I substituted raspberries for the cherry compote and it was delicious.
Pros: Easy, Impressive
