I do it occasionally at work when I'm too lazy to go get more canola oil!. In chocolate, it won't be a problem!. In white it's a problem!. I even have one recipe for a scratch cake that calls for olive oil!. If I had it at home I'ld give it to you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
In the Mediterranean region where I live you almost exclusively use olive oil for everything and always the best quality extra-virgin!. Of course not always for cake and sweet stuff, but if you use it for cake be advise to use only a small quantity!. Olive Oil has properties which make it so that you don't require much, and it has a very strong flavor!. So if you use too much it may not taste bad, but it will taste too much like olive oil (which tastes a lot better than regular oil anyway)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Olive oil benefits most food items!. However it does have a distinct flavor that may over power bland or light food items!. Therefore I do not recommend it!. If you do, make sure that it is an olive oil blend and not extra-virgin!. The darker the oil, the more intense flavor of olives you have!.

MMM I'm sure it will be ok, but next time you are out of regular oil, try applesauce!. You can't taste it and it's a healthy replacement for oil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have not tried it!. Watch Giada on the food network make a cake using olive oil and rosemary!. I don't think it will taste bad at all!. Probably be rather tasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
