This Olive Oil Carrot Cake is full of fresh carrots and bursting with flavor. Not only does carrot cake made with olive oil taste great, but it's also easy to make!
Since olive oil is heat resistant, it works well in baking applications because it won't become rancid or release carcinogenic compounds during the baking process.
