I'm not sure which one would have won. I'm glad you went though, the pictures of the trees and fruit are so vibrant and amazing. And the cake, oh I would just eat that frosting by the spoonful.

I have a quick question about this one however. I made it tonight and after 55 min my tester toothpick still wasn't coming out clean from the middle of the cake but the sides looked as if they were completely drying out- so I pulled it form the oven and sure enough the middle sank in a little. Furthermore, because i had to give a taste to a very hungry man, I made two cupcakes (the cake is for tomorrow)- so my pan had even less batter. Is there any chance that your oven temp was 375? Regardless, the cupcakes were delicious and the icing is to die for good.

I'm going to Naples myself very soon ... though not the one that's abroad ;) and would like to take advantage of their abundance of oranges by making this cake. Having never blanched oranges before though, I'm a little confused as to how I should remove the seeds from the oranges before pureeing.

I was fairly certain the Circumvisuviana was going derail half the time I was on it. I also couldn't get over the orange groves either(I was sleeping in one for the weekend I spent there). I am usually dubious of olive oil cakes, but the chocolate frosting sold me on this one.
