Orange and Olive Oil Loaf Cake

Do you remember watching your mother or grandmother taking a warm loaf of banana bread out of the oven? I couldn’t wait until it was cool enough to eat.

This Orange and Olive Oil Loaf Cake brings back those memories for me.

This recipe is not as sweet as a typical cake you might have for dessert, so I hesitate to call it cake. It’s really more of a quick bread like zucchini bread.

This delicious, baked goodness, is soft and moist. It can be enjoyed in the morning with a cup of coffee, with afternoon tea, and can also pass as a nice desert.
