Olive Oil Cake with Crème Fraîche, Pistachios, Orange, and Chocolate Recipe on Food52This is a fragrant olive oil sponge cake made with rice flour—which enhances the flavor of the oil—split and moistened with more oil and filled with vanilla crème fraîche laced with chopped chocolate, pistachios, and candied orange peel.
