Hello Lauren. I really appreciate the support.

Please note that Substack and the blog are 2 completely different “products”. The blog is free for everyone and runs on ads to generate revenue. Substack is a “private” product for subscribers and contains NO ads whatsoever, and exclusive recipes/stories/musings that only subscribers can access.

I really wish there was an option to run an “ad-free” version of the site for Substack subscribers, but it doesn’t exist. At least, not without some supreme technical expertise and having 2 completely seperate blogs.

I do make clear in the subscription details that the PYF site does remain with ads, but the Substack will always be completely ad-free, as that’s what the subscription helps cover the costs of.

Again, I genuinely appreciate the support and appreciate that the choice is completely yours as to whether or not you continue the subscription. I hope you’ll find enough value in the exclusive articles and recipes there to continue, but regardless, I hope you’ll continue to enjoy the recipes here.

Merci!

I love your recipes, comments, pictures – I have made many. I subscribed to Substack for you. I detest all the pop up ads. That is why I subscribed – and now I have a million more pop up ads . I may cancel because of them .

Unfortunately, I can’t attest to the results with GF flour, as I’ve never used it for this recipe. But readers have often commented that King Arthur brand GF flour seems to replicate things very well. If you do try, could you please let me know what you used and how it worked? Much appreciated, and happy holidays 🙂

Glad to know the first time was a success, Michèle 🙂 When I tell people “olive oil cake” they tend to expect something greasy and overly aggressive in taste, but it’s not that at all… Sure, it’s there in flavor, but otherwise, it’s just a delicious cake with subtle notes of the oil. Love the additions as well, a classic combo for a chocolate cake!

This was so easy to prepare, and has a lovely taste and texture. It was nice being able to make it a day ahead. The chocolate chunks are a really nice touch. I served it with whipped cream with a bit of Greek yogurt mixed in, and raspberries I had previously frozen. Thank you Audrey!

Thank you so much, Supriya! This cake really is simply put together, with simple ingredients, and the result is wonderful! I hope you’ll have a chance to give it a chance soon and let me know if you agree 🙂

Phew, Sara!!! Nothing worse than doing too many things at once and realizing you made a miscalculation somewhere… But no better feeling when it still turns out! I am so glad you still got a delicious slice of cake, you recovered perfectly!

I messed up the recipe a little, and my timer and my oven temperature too -trying to do too many things at once. And yet- this came out delicious!! Amazing cake. This recipe and your lemon poppyseed loaf are winners!!
