mother's day naked cake

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers and Mother figures out there!  I am so grateful for all the amazing moms I have in my life who inspire, guide and push me to be the best and then comfort and support when things don’t turn out as I hoped, only to inspire and push me to try again.  Blessed.  I have been desperately wanting to try my had at these gorgeous Naked Cakes I’ve been seeing everywhere and what better occasion than Mother’s Day!

This cake is the perfect Sunday morning treat, easy to make and pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee. Whether you use extra virgin or regular olive oil, it doesn’t matter! There are many different types of olive oil out there, so just do a little research on products like Gundry MD Olive Oil and many more, to find out which one will benefit you the most by being in you cupboard. Extra-virgin will give the cake a fruitier and more pronounced oil taste, while regular olive oil will give it a lighter taste. You may want to find how long does olive oil last before using an older bottle, but either way, the cake is delicious!
