The olive oil cake with St. Germaine lemon syrup and pink wine

Came out great! Like really really delicious. I’m still going to nitpick though and say that the more subtle flavors were lost under the strong tones of olive oil; it probably would be best to save that kind of flavoring for a white cake in the future, just for a more delicate backdrop to let the floral and berry notes really come through.

(Tbh the recipe sounds super pretentious but it was uber easy, I promise. It was this base recipe http://www.instructables.com/id/olive-oil-cake/ with a blush wine instead of lemon juice, and a tablespoon and a half of my syrup instead of zest)
