gluten free baking organic

olive oil cake.








BEAUTIES!

i had all these great ideas of blood oranges and cara caras
sliced thin for the top but when it came down to it....
the kids wanted 'just cake, no topping'
it's so spongey and dense and fluffy and moist
you are going to love it!

i saw this cake on food 52
they call it genius
now i see why
it's what i love to bake
there is the wet
then the dry
put them together
throw them in the pan
put it in the oven
easy peasy
& in one hour
you have cake!

this one is gluten free! 
i used the raw dairy from the
market for the milk.. but i am sure you 
could substitute almond, rice or whatever you fancy!
