Рецепт Sweet Peach Olive Oil Cake
We're all about trying new things here this week. For the first time in my life, complete with maternity swimsuit and lycra bathing cap, I swam laps at the pool. I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow but because of this rainy and cold spring we haven't been dipping in the ocean as much as usual and my 6 month belly is craving some buoyancy. In related news, I also made my first olive oil based cake for my mom's birthday last weekend. I really liked the strong flavors and the simple moist cake. I will definitely bake it again.
In the meantime we've been sneaking in lots of outdoor time when the clouds part which usually involves visiting the new farm babies.
