A new refreshing take on a classic Italian olive oil bundt cake, this recipe is not only beautiful but delicious and versatile. You can add fresh berries to this recipe in the summer or add in candied fruit for a fall/wintery dessert. We love this cake simply on its own without any frosting but you can certainly add a simple icing sugar glaze to elevate it's sweetness and for flair.
For this recipe we used our Nordic Ware Magnolia Bundt Pan but any 9-inch bundt pan will do.
