    "To me, french desserts are more about the actual dessert and the skills of the person making it, whereas an italian dessert like this is just simply another sweet course to extend the meal, so we can have a little more wine and have time to laugh and tell more stories."

    Ironically the first time I ever heard of an olive oil cake was from a french pastry chef. I think everyone appreciates a good olive oil cake -- and that blackberry honey!! Just perfect. The French have their rustic side too; they're just a little overly concerned with time and place sometimes. Not exactly rule breakers. Something I would like to see is your attempt on Monet's favorite, vert-vert cake. I've never seen anyone make that without being disappointed but I doubt it would have been his favorite without reason. Perhaps someone of your caliber could make it successfully? It involves pistachios and...um...spinach.

    I love this cake with fresh strawberries. It is good just by itself, as well. It freezes very well, too. My old recipe uses a springform pan, which I caulk with butter and flour to keep it from leaking. So, I'm switching to Chef John's recipe and a normal cake pan. Cool trick with the cooling rack.

      Whether "oily" or "greasy" (as in from butter and/or shortning) the oil/fat is what gives all cakes most of what we call their "moistness", and it really doesn't make much of a difference what kind of oil or fat that you use.

Since it is fall can you maybe do something pumpkin related? I know there are tons of recopies for butternut squash, or even the common Hokkaido pumpkin (which to me is rather bland), what about a ‘Musquee de Provence’ pumpkin? Something different. That could be fun for fall. Thanks for being awesome!

    There is a similar style of cake from Greece that is tied into religious practices; called fanouropita, and coming in too many variations to account for, it's a relatively flat cake (i.e. properly leavened, but not quite as fully puffed as modern cakes), and the name has to do with preparing these cakes on Mondays, which are sort of associated with Saint Fanourios, whose name (and whose portfolio) is itself associated with "revelation" - in common usage, referring to helping people find things, solutions to problems etc. So people bake these cakes for two reasons: either plainly as an offering, or in order to placate the Saint to help them!
    They are also quite delicious, but people always fight about which versions of the cake they like the most, and believe you me: they are vastly different from each other...
    P.S.: In keeping with the need to be available for Lent, our cakes have no eggs, and orange juice replaces the milk.
