Author Notes
This is an adaptation of Maialino's Olive Oil Cake (Genius Recipes). Orange flavors from the original recipe are replaced with coconut, respecting the main taste of the cake but giving it a fun and interesting twist. Coconut milk adds an extra moisture making it even more irresistible!! Olive oil and coconut make a perfect combination in this cake. Smells and flavor are simply alluring. This coconut adaptation gave excellent results!! —Batido Pasteleria (Agustina Frontini)
