Tracey’s Notes
Lemon Olive Oil is what makes this cake special—don’t substitute with regular oil if you can help it.
These cakes hold beautifully for events and can be made a day ahead.
If serving at a tasting, keep them small and elegant—these are meant to feel like a treat, not a heavy dessert.
For a slightly richer glaze, reduce the balsamic slightly before mixing.
