2010 was an exciting year for us, very busy and chock full of new experiences with Aurora. We spent New Years in Grand Marais and enjoyed our visit immensely. My contribution to the New Year's Eve party was an olive oil cake. It turned out delicious, although it wasn't cooked in the correct pan and therefore the presentation wasn't quite what I was hoping. Regardless, it was delicious. Jeff searched for the pine cone decorations in the freezing rain and came back with 4 beautiful ones (although very sticky). The recipe follows:
1 tbsp. butter
3 cups plus 2 tbsp. flour
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1⁄4 tsp. lemon zest
3⁄4 cup quality extra-virgin olive oil
2⁄3 cup milk
3 tbsp. Grand Marnier or other sweet citrus-flavored
liqueur (I used lemon juice)
1 tbsp. baking powder
Bake at 325 F for 40 minutes.
