Almond Olive Oil Cake with Capatriti EVOO

I participated in Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers and received Capatriti EVOO products to facilitate my review. #MomBlogTourFF

I’m so excited to share this fabulous product with you.  I use a lot of olive oil in my cooking and baking but not all olive oils are created the same.  I look for an olive oil with a fresh and natural flavor.

You can imagine my excitement when I had the chance to meet one of my favorite olive oil brands, Capatriti when I was in New York City last summer at the Fancy Food Show.

One of the only Extra Virgin Olive Oils to acquire the highly coveted United States Department of Agriculture Quality Monitoring Program Seal, 100% pure, true EVOO.  You can really taste, smell and see the difference in their product!

I use Capatriti Olive Oil a lot in dressings, marinades, etc. but I wanted to make one of my favorite cakes and see how it turned out.

I decided to make a simple Almond Olive Oil Cake topped with whip cream and strawberries, it turned out amazing.  My family and I ate the entire thing for dessert one evening! Check out this delicious recipe!
