: I added olive oil to my cake, but I haven’t baked it yet The taste is so strong, and I haven’t even baked it yet. How do I make it taste better? I added it as a butter substitute... now what do i do?

First, you could bake it as planned. The taste may become less pronounced, especially in comparison to the other, still developing flavors from caramelizing and the Maillard reaction during baking.

There are quite a few cake recipes that use olive oil (so it’s not necessarily a bad idea), and often they use citrusy and slightly savory flavor combinations, e.g. a pound cake with rosemary and orange or a lemon cake. (Not sure whether olive oil would work too well with, say, milk chocolate.) You could take that approach as an inspiration: If there's still time, add e.g. some lemon peel. If not, you can combine the baked cake with a citrus marmalade or a glaze.

Lo - it is become crust. And there was cake pizza!

Bake it thin. Then get it out and put sauce on and cheese. Pepperoni if your child is digging it.

It is cake pizza. You will be hailed down the generations of your family as the semidivine inventor of cake pizza. I feel like it might be a cousin of bacon pancakes.

Can we make cake pizza today?

dang now I really want cake pizza.
