Torte di Olio d’Oliva (Olive Oil Cakes)

Recipe courtesy of Eataly North America Head Pastry Chef Katia Delogu Yield: 20 mini cakes Preheat an oven to 350˚F. Dress two 12-count muffin tins with extra virgin olive oil. In a stand mixer, whip the eggs, olive oil, and sugar at a medium speed until the mixture becomes very voluminous and light in colour. Turn the mixer down to low, and slowly pour in the milk and white wine. Turn off the mixer, and sift in the flour and baking soda. Fold these into the mixture. Ladle the mixture into the oiled muffin tins, filling the tins halfway up the sides. Fill any empty muffin tins halfway with water. Bake until the cake tops become golden brown, for approximately 12-14 minutes. If desired, add chopped rosemary or orange zest to the batter, or enjoy as a topping with the powdered sugar. These cakes are also great topped with zabaione, gelato, or preserved fruit. Buon appetito!
