Notes
* The O&V fused flavored Lemon EVOO is what gives this cake its delicious citrusy flavor. You can make the cake with an unflavored EVOO and double the lemon extract but the flavor will be more artificial lemon tasting than when you use the oil to add flavor. The Peach Apricot vinegar and Peach Honey (available at most Oil & Vinegar stores) intensify the flavors of this dessert. You can find other fruity vinegars and use a plain, local honey if you prefer, but remember to use really high-quality ingredients that maximize the flavors of your dessert.
