Pistachio & Olive Oil Cake with Scented Lemon Glaze

Pistachio & Olive Oil Cake with Scented Lemon Glaze
While our Libellula family is based in northern Italy in the Sabina region, we love visiting fellow farmers all across Italy. With its beautiful coastline and warm weather, Sicily is one of our favorite spots.

And nothing says “Sicilian breakfast” more than a cake made with pistachios and lemons – two of the region’s agricultural specialties. Add to the mix extra virgin olive oil, which gives the cake a wonderful sponginess and depth of flavor, and you’ll be transported straight to the Sicilian coast!

We recommend saving a few pistachios on the side to sprinkle over the top of the cake.
