Chocolate olive oil cake
Just ran across this recipe for a chocolate olive oil cake, and am thinking about how it might go with one of the infused olive oils that the olive oil boutique-y store nearby sells. They've got olive oils infused with blood orange, with roasted almond, and with roasted French walnuts that might go. Toby will vote for the almond-infused oil every time, but I'm slightly partial to orange and chocolate together. Their chipotle-infused oil might actually work, given that chocolate works well with chile and smoky flavors! I'd probably do that one for a party, though, instead of at home, in case it ended up not for me.
They've also got a butter-infused olive oil that tastes very much like movie popcorn "buttery topping," and which I will one day buy to use on home-popped popcorn (the store allows you to sample!). But I think it would be waaay too buttery for the cake.
