Use high-quality, mild olive oil for the best flavor. Freshly grated orange zest is key to the bright citrus notes. Don't overmix the batter to keep the cake tender. Cooling the cake completely prevents it from being too fragile when removed from the pan. Serving with fresh berries or a berry compote elevates the cake beautifully.
