Do give it a try - I think adding citrus to any pound cake would be a plus, but the combination of the olive oil and citrus is really magical.<BR/><BR/>Veron - As I recall, you're an early adopter of olive oil in cake!<BR/><BR/>Lori - I would love to have fresh oranges in my yard!<BR/><BR/>Carolina - Welcome - thanks for visiting! I felt like it was impossible to take a bad picture in Italy!<BR/><BR/>Kalyn - maybe the next blogging convention should be held there?<BR/><BR/>Kathy - give it a try - I like the fact that most of the ingredients for a cake are right in the pantry. <BR/><BR/>Susan - isn't it a beautiful book? I'm looking forward to trying more recipes. <BR/><BR/>Dorie - Hi! Hope you've survived all the snow! I think we are all craving bright, spring flavors, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>Duncan - I've never tried the lemon scented variety with olive oil, which sounds wonderful. I may swap out the orange and see what happens.T.W.
