Olive oil cakes are distinguished by their particularly moist and soft texture and a pleasant, distinctive aroma and flavor. These cakes are made using high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, which is added to a dough made from a mixture of wheat and almond flour. This cake requires a special round pan with a hole in the center to ensure even baking on all sides. Once cooled, drizzle the top with icing sugar and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and chopped almonds. Your treat will resemble an Advent wreath and will beautifully decorate your holiday table.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (160°C). Grease a 10- to 12-cup loaf pan with olive oil; dust with flour and shake out any excess.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and eggs; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and gradually pour in the olive oil. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in two additions, alternating with the almond milk. Knead the dough.
- Bake a cupcakePour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, 50-60 minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Loosen the edges of the cake with a spatula and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glazeMix powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth; stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon milk if the glaze is too thick. Pour the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and chopped almonds. Let the glaze set, about 20 minutes.
