Overview

Simple, fragrant, and beautifully Italian — the olive oil cake is a timeless dessert found on kitchen counters across Italy. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make a classic olive oil cake batter using high-quality extra virgin olive oil, citrus, and pantry staples, then take it home to bake and enjoy fresh from your own oven.

This is a Make, Take & Bake experience: you’ll mix, measure, and prepare your cake in-shop, learning the techniques that create a moist and delicate flavor, then leave with a ready-to-bake cake that fills your home with warmth and aroma.

Why It’s Special

Olive oil cake is about simplicity and balance — never too sweet, always comforting. Once you learn this technique, it becomes a go-to recipe you’ll bake again and again. This workshop gives you the confidence to bring a little Italian sweetness into your everyday life.
