Olive Oil Cake: Gluten-Free Pistachio w/ Whipped Mascarpone
BYOB | Mix & Take Cake | Italian Bites & EVOO Tasting
Moist. Tender. Kissed with pistachio.
The kind of cake that makes you wonder why you ever baked with butter.
In this hands-on workshop, Pino and Jane walk you through a gluten-free pistachio olive oil cake from scratch. You will learn the basics of baking with extra virgin olive oil, how liquid gold can take the place of butter, and why Southern Italians have been baking this way for generations. Jane lives gluten-free, so you are learning from someone who bakes this way in her own kitchen. You will then take it home to bake it in your home oven to perfection.
We open with a guided extra virgin olive oil tasting and a spread of hand-crafted Italian antipasti: cheeses, cured meats, and Pino's own creations. Because that is simply how a proper Italian evening begins. Then we get to work.
Every guest mixes their own batter and takes it home, ready for the oven, along with a recipe card. Bake it that night and let your kitchen smell like a Calabrian nonna's.
No experience required. Just bring your wine.
