Kids loved it. Be careful with the type of olive oil you use, ours had quite a strong olive taste so next time I'll try a lighter one.

This was a great hit with my boys, however, they’ve eaten it all before I could take a pic! I’m not very good with cakes so it didn’t look as good as Molly’s but based great xx
