Chef's Tips

Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.

Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.

For a richer flavor, you can add a few drops of orange extract along with the orange blossom water.

Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
