Convivial Conversation / Dessert

This is the sort of recipe I'd typically post during the fall at the height of apple season, however, apples are still in the shops, and we were looking for something sweet last weekend with only two apples in the larder. The cake itself is simple, only the caramel might be tricky if you've not worked with sugar in this way before.

This is festive and fruity make-ahead olive oil cake is something you might bring out to enjoy on Christmas morning--if you're not already indulging on panettone French toast, that is!

It was the image above from Jacobsen Salt Company that lured me to read and imagine this recipe. If you've splurged on the flake salt, this shiny dark chocolate offers a stunning culinary and visual foil to those geometric wonders, and one can only imagine the crunch of salt against the sweet and smooth filling.
