The Olive Oil Cake itself is completely delicious. Beautiful and moist thanks to fruity olive oil and yogurt, the semolina adds a perfect level of texture to the cake which allows it to withstand the syrup.

And that syrup – oh my goodness. Orange blossom honey, cardamom and orange slices. Exotic and utterly delightful.
