If you ask Molly, olive oil cakes reign supreme in the baking kingdom-they’re infinitely moist in a way butter based cakes will never be, and they taste like olive oil!!! Which is a really good thing! Especially if you use olive oil that YOU like the taste of. This one is intensely citrusy thanks to the addition of grapefruit juice and zest, and a zippy pistachio grapefruit glaze that smothers it once it’s out of the oven. Two bowls, one loaf pan and whisk are all you’ll need. Tune in to watch Molly bust it out on her own, and snag a copy of her cookbook, Cook This Book for the full recipe!

Did anyone catch the "eat cakes" at around 5:08?

[@feelslikewater]

Good ear! Def noticed the split sec on screen to acknowledge it tho😊

[@jamesparker8066]

lmao I slowed down the playback speed just to make sure I wasn't crazy.

[@SOFIA_RETA]

I can’t tell you how glad I am someone else saw this I was panicking

[@barrettirmscher1232]

love the moirepoix cameo at 6:42

[@PreppyHorror]

It’s all part of Mollys evil plan to make us eat cake. 😂

[@shakirarivera1011]

jealous of her sick amount of citrus trees

[@kindabluejazz]

Maybe you mean envious instead? Jealousy implies resentment and bitterness towards another, whereas envy implies personal admiration and discontent.

[@feelslikewater]

She’s growing MEYER LEMONS🥹🥹 they’re are so hard to keep!!

[@m_a_k_e_n_n_a]

girl your editor is on one lmfao mirepoix? 6:44

[@Maiasatara]

Why the mirepoix pop up at the end? No vegetables anywhere near this. Great citrus trees. In addition to Tuna (infinitely adorable) happy to have something else to like.

[@feelslikewater]

Sometimes I watch not just for the recipe, but definitely for the vibe. Especially when anxiety hits.

[@juliabishop1408]

The Tuna Interlude is very much appreciated 👍 I enjoy the weenie dog content with bake cakes

[@prbpbr]

Omg BIG PRO TIP: let the cake rest for a day or 24 for more intensified flavor. All the citrus juices settle with the olive oil and it is so much more bomb.

[@fairyflossgurlz]

6:44 mirepoix?

[@please.dont.]

we love an occasional pinch or trivia here and there!

[@StephenPhayre]

I suspect it was supposed to explain "mouth feel"

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

Do you track your period cycles? I get suuuper clumsy right before I start mine, without fail. XD

[@davidpierce4949]

Well, there it is again. Your solicitous "Product Placement", front and center, of Calif.Olive Ranch globally sourced bottle. Not at all $ubtle of you to adverti$e for them. You could at least use their "100% California" label: that ensures that the olive oil meets the Calif. State regulation of standard of purity.

[@laurenl.3735]

Thankful for your videos Molly you are so helpful with recipes tips tricks hacks, you name it I always learn a lot from you and I’m so grateful

[@ehrratic_]

This video is unhinged and fun and I love it lol

[@maartje5704]

Apppppparently, a couple of days before you get your period women tend to be more clumsy. So maybe thats the explanation? Don't ask me about the science, but I've been checking with my friends and most of us have it. So you're not ill (I hope

[@juliewick]

Yep yep yepppers! Happens to me too! ❤

[@whatshername369]

I was super clumsy AND absent-minded when I was pregnant.

[@tebaird]

That’s what I was thinking!

[@judithegli1345]

Me too

[@chairmanchang]

When I bake, I feel so methodical and calculated, so it’s fun to watch Molly bake with her cooking flair. Every motion seems so fluid - for example, something about her zesting the citruses is so satisfying to me!

[@EdelweisSusie]

MOLLY: if you do another cookbook, would you do a Baking one please (a selection of large cakes and cakes in loaf tins like this one)? You have such unique cake recipes in your current book that allows me - as an avid baker myself (and with a partner and various charities to bake for too) - to offer something different that go down a storm. Thank you so much for this recipe. Have already baked two (one to eat, the other - to eat later!!!). xx

[@andrewolson1237]

This is one of my favorite recipes from Molly's book. I make it about 3-4 times a year and usually mix my citruses!

[@FTFFF]

how long do you bake for? molly's range - 65 to 85 minutes - is pretty big? thanks!

[@andrewolson1237]

@@FTFFF I usually go on the longer range... there's so much olive oil I've never had a problem of it drying out in the oven.

[@FTFFF]

@@andrewolson1237 thank you! Appreciate that! Big fan of olive oil cake, so I look forward to trying this recipe.

[@PeaceRose96]

as much as i miss you being a NY girly, i can tell you're thrivingggggg in LA and 1000% deserve it! i mean come on the citrus variety in your backyard? fucking incredible also tuna is thriving in the grass and that's just adorable

[@williampalchak7574]

Just an FYI: Grapefruit can cause serious harm to individuals taking statin medications.

[@kawaigentzler1473]

did anyone notice the subliminal message "eat cakes" In that one frame?

[@agniezkalovesu]

I tried this cake yesterday, it was SO good!!! I just had to turn down the oven a bit, otherwise it would have burned. Aaand it only took 50 min in my oven. But it was freaking delish!!!

[@nateblake7422]

AM I ILL?! Yes, Molly, you are the illest.

[@katiewalsh7087]

why did it sink and get the butt crack?? Would love to learn from this

[@valerie4397]

Yeah I was curious about this too, especially because the final cake she ends up glazing appears to have sunk as well. A bit disappointing that she didn't really address it IMO.

[@jefsti]

When you open the oven door halfway through--say, to check doneness or rotate the pan--it suddenly lowers the temperature. Any mixture that hasn't cooked solid and has this sudden drop in temperature tends to deflate and sink down. (Also, butt crack LOL)

[@Count-Roflmfao]

Molly's slowly losing her mind.

[@damienjohn]

I suddenly feel compelled to EAT CAKES

[@brianemunroe]

I never realized that about the olive oil vs butter cake on the mouth feel. Good stuff!

[@feelslikewater]

@Brian Monroe 🎉🎉 the best stuff when u know u know!

[@kellyjd1978]

Wait. Did I see a subliminal message of EAT CAKE in this video?!

[@lavendertwilight08]

This was delicious! Made it while I was super high lmao

[@kittenatplay371]

You might be pregnant. Are you giving us a hint?

[@lesiamahlay]

what’s wrong with a buttcrack in a loaf cake lol

[@antonchigurh3226]

Good Golly, Miss Molly.

[@lorenzosorice]

Are your baking recipes by weight in the actual book?

[@FTFFF]

65 to 85 minutes is a big range. do you just test at 65 by inserting a large toothpick type thingy? but what are the risks of the cake falling (like Molly's did) at this point if it's not ready? Maybe split the difference and do 75 minutes? ugh.

[@kevwonggg]

I just baked this. I did it for 55 mins and toothpick was clean. Next time I’ll check at 50 mins.

[@FTFFF]

@@kevwonggg thank you. Appreciate the reply!

[@ramencurry6672]

Beautiful lady

[@justinh.2778]

"Am I ill?" Molly, you're the illest and we love you for it.

I'm just here for the tuna interludes.

Molly I love all your recipes love to watch you cook you are the best

Hey Molly, how do I know if my olive oil is high qual? Thanks! - Ad

[@Jessiyeajin]

The bottle should say “first cold pressed”

water ?

Did anyone else notice the subliminal message? Lol

[EAT CAKES]

[@fairyflossgurlz]

excited for this!

[@theshine2]

Why baking powder AND baking soda?

[@ertgreen]

Pregnant?! Clumsy and absentminded…

[@nuclearbananas3]

i've made this recipe so many times, truly one of my favourite cakes ever!! i highly recommend it for anyone who hasn't tried it!

[@benjaminferguson1286]

moirepoix~~

[@ragazzo3215]

What kind of flour and sugar do you use? You have to use a really good organic flour and good natural organic sugar.. which ones do you use ?

[@sh-nd4cs]

She's really cute when she's in distress and on the brink of tears.

[@andymiller1803]

OMG! Is Molly prego!?

[@jordanleach1747]

MOLLY IS PREGNANT

[@Italonino]

Molly isn't clumsy, she's hot - love the scooching. I've had the Sicilian version of Olive Oil Cake, made with blood orange instead of grapefruit - I'm sure this Greek version is equally delicious.

[@Coffeegirl739]

On my "to make" list 👌🔥

[@judithcoloma613]

I like unfussy cakes too. Leave the fussy to Claire Saiffitz.

[@passiveaggressive6175]

So worried about the intense EVOO taste, is melted butter an alternative?😬

[@samanthameyer8541]

No. She explains in the video why she uses olive oil - because it's liquid at room temperature leading to a moist cake.

[@demoncleaner331]

Just make it the way it's suppose to be made and stop worrying.

[@whatshername369]

Try a mild evoo. The point of evoo is that it is still liquid at room temp whereas butter will solidify.

[@sandy-ke1kr]

@@samanthameyer8541 How bad could it be with butter? Give it a try. It probably won't be as moist which is the main reason, she is using olive oil, but it will probably still taste good.🙂

[@kindabluejazz]

I use regular veg oil (corn, canola) in my cakes/banana bread. I don't like the taste of olive oil. The oil definitely makes the cake/bread more consistently moist throughout. But I do like to put butter on a hot toasted slice. (for reference, I use 2/3c oil in a basic loaf of banana bread).
