2. Place the eggs, olive oil, xylitol, juice and zest in a bowl and whisk until light and foamy, about 3–4 minutes.

Looks and sounds delicious!
I'm sure this would be lovely to serve to my family. I have baked with olive oil and had great results--very moist crumb.
Looks delicious
Gracias por la receta se ve genial. Te mando un beso
I need to bake one for the weekend :-))
That looks good.

That sounds delectable.
This looks so good! Valerie
That does look the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea.
Hello Jan,:=) When I see lovely cakes and other treats on your blog, I long to eat them or make them, however my doctor phoned yesterday to say my blood test showed I had too much sugar in my blood, and she will be sending a sugar free diet sheet. I already can't eat cream or any fatty foods. Woo is me. So sorry if I don't visit when your post share recipes which contain both these things. You don't need to post this.:=)
The cake looks delicious!
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Have a happy day and a great weekend!
Looks so elegant
The cake looks really fabulous. I do love almond!
This looks amazing.
This looks yummy, I have made cakes with olive oil before and they always turn out delicious. 😊
Jan - I have been in the UK for the last two weeks, visiting my in-laws. I have enjoyed my share of yummy cakes!!! This one looks delicious - after my post-holiday diet, I may give it a go!
Good recipe. I haven't used almond flour before.
Mmmm that would go great with a cuppa. :)
Oh yum, I would love a slice of this right now :)
Delicious. I want some.
Sounds yummy. I’ll definitely be making this. Thank you
yum, I do most of my cooking using Olive oil, it seems to be a good substitute for any recipe calling for vegetable oil
It looks pretty, but the ingredients don't sound all that good to me.
Yum!
Yummy!
Delicioso para acompanhar um bom chá.
Um abraço e bom Domingo.
