INGREDIENTS

For the soak:

  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon dark rum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the cake:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil, preferably Chilean
  • 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
  • 1/8 cup Grand Marnier
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

For the soak:

Combine all of the ingredients together and set aside.

For the cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, olive oil, half-and-half, Grand Marnier, orange juice, and lemon zest. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and whisk well until blended. 

Pour mixture into twelve 3-inch tart pans. Bake for 8 minutes or until light golden brown and the center springs back when touched. Place on a rack to cool for 5 minutes, then pour ¼ cup of the soak mixture over each cake. Let it sit 5 minutes to soak, then invert onto plate and garnish with sliced strawberries.
