Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! Olive oil cakes are beloved in the Mediterranean for their incredibly moist crumb and slightly savory edge, which makes them perfectly suited for citrus. Using dehydrated blood oranges as a garnish or baked into the top creates a striking, stained-glass effect that is absolutely beautiful.
