​Galilee Green Super Special Orange Carrot Cake​

I’ve been making this recipe for many years and it has always been a crowd pleaser.

So when Galilee Green hosted some special guests this week for lunch we decided to serve it. Donna Holbrook and her ICEJ Canada TV production team came to Yavne’el under the auspices of the Israel Ministry of Tourism to interview us about Galilee Green and what it’s like for former Canadians to live here in the Galilee.

I made two “small” changes that enhanced the flavor of this already yummy cake ten fold! I used a freshly picked sweet orange grown right here in the Galilee and Galilee Green Olive Oil.

The cake was so rich and light at the same time, that our guests were sure I’d used butter.

The Ministry of Tourism guide requested the recipe while we were sitting at the table. Due to modern technology, he had it in his smartphone before he finished his second piece!

Who knew that Galilee Green olive oil could make a delicious difference in baking?

You’ll need some Galilee Green Olive Oil to duplicate these results. Most olive oils will be too harsh for a cake recipe.
