SCHNIKES!! EASTER IS AROUND THE CORNER! Who is bringing the dessert? The Fresh Market has a GREAT recipe for Carrot Cake that calls for OLIVE OIL in the cake AND the "EXTRA VIRGIN" BUTTERCREAM FROSTING!!! If you do not want to use a flavored olive oil, The Olive Tap recommends using one of our mild EVOO's; Arbequina, Ascolano or Manzanillo. They are all light in flavor that will make this cake moist and rich. However, if you are interested in trying a flavored olive oil, try The Olive Tap's Blood Orange Olive Oil in the cake and the "Extra Virgin" Buttercream Frosting! The Blood Orange will enhance the cake without over powering it. The buttercream will have a slight hue of blood orange.
