the eggs are used as a binder in this recipe, so you could substitute them with flax egg or your favorite egg replacer (I heard Bob's Red Mill has a good one) :)

What would be the outcome w AP flour vs almond? Definitely making this!!!

I haven't tried this recipe without almond flour, but my guess is it would a little less tender, a little less crumbly. It'll still be amazing though!!!

Same amount? Can't wait to try it!! My take on it is to add a home made champagne grapes jam on top

I’m not familiar with almond flour mean I know of it but I haven’t used it. What’s the substitute for it or can it be omitted?

all-purpose flour would be a great substitute. adding an extra 1/3 to 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour instead of the almond flour should do the job :)

The dollop of yogurt and drizzle of olive oil, oh wow...I knew I wanted to make this cake immediately upon seeing the recipe but then reading that last part truly cannot wait now!! 😋🤤

I found the cake portion on the dry side and I did it on 40 mins (on the lower end of the range). How would I make it more moist, add another egg?

I also had a thermometer inside the over so i know it was running true at 350 degrees.

It looked a bit thinner than the video, and i use a 10" springform pan. Wonder if perhaps an 8" would keep it thicker and more moist somehow.

Same! I kept re-reading the recipe to make sure I had the right sized pan, but my cake was only about an inch thick in a 10” pan - it must have been a smaller pan in the original recipe.

I just made this and its SO SO GOOD. I have also made your orange olive oil cake 3 times, once for family meal at the restaurant I work at. People were coming back for seconds and there were no leftovers! Thank you <3

I’m one of those pesky celiac bakers and thus must forego wheat, barley, and rye. Not by choice or fad, I am forced to disclaim.

Any thoughts/suggestions on how to adapt this recipe for GF, and any GF baking tips in general?

i really want to try this recipe but do you have a good AP flour substitute for a fully gluten free cake?

Hi! This looks lovely. Do you think it would turn out well in a bundt pan??

Expand full comment

I find this recipe delicious! The cake always turns out moist. I tend to bake ahead and this one DOES get better with time. I make the cake and keep it refrigerated overnight so I can frost before eating!

Hi! how big is your cake pan?

I have made this cake probably ten times - it is a labor of love for sure but it tastes unreal and is so beautiful with the candied lemon peel and pistachios. Amazing recipe!
