I used just a mild supermarket brand. I think you can use any neutral oil in this recipe. The main reason to use olive oil is simply that it's a healthier oil, not for the flavor. Happy baking.Tanya Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913356411257627601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-32838679098599970352011-06-14T16:07:50.330+02:002011-06-14T16:07:50.330+02:00Kimberley - Glad I could help.

Thanks so much for taking the time to analyze the original and make it even better. From what I remember, the recipe was developed spontaneously. I just finished icing mine, with curdle free icing, and it is resting in the fridge until I pick hubby up from the ship tonight. Still gotta go and get the grapefruit juice to go with it for breakfast...Kimberleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14529283914096183633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-72367989127789125562009-12-29T20:31:15.937+01:002009-12-29T20:31:15.937+01:00What kind of olive oil do you use?
