Tonia's
Kitchen about a deliciously moist, but not too sweet Olive Oil and Walnut cake from Southern Italy. She combine standard cake ingredients with 5 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and dark rum. Nancy also says she does use sugar, but not a lot. Combine the oil, rum, sugar, walnuts and some milk, with three eggs and flour and bake together. Enjoy this unique taste treat with a glass of sweet wine.
