Apple Olive Oil Bundt Cake

Posted by Alana on

My friend who gave me the bundt pan started asking when he’d be getting another bundt cake. I’ve had an itch in my brain about olive oil cake ever since I had an amazing one at Osteria Mozza, and that was years ago! It was finally time to try my hand at making one. I happened to have some apples too, and I think it’s the apple glaze that made this cake.
