Dr. Pete's Olive Oil Cake and Focaccia Mixes

These are the mixes that turn a bottle of your olive oil into an actual cake or loaf of bread, no other specialty ingredients required. The Classic and Chocolate Olive Oil Cake Mixes each need a cup of oil, three eggs, and milk for a moist, dense olive oil cake; the Italian Herb Focaccia Mix needs about 3 to 4 ounces of oil for a rosemary and herb-flecked flatbread straight out of the oven.

Made by Dr. Pete's Foods of Ailey, Georgia. The company got its start in 1985, when Dr. T. A. Peterson, a physician known to his patients as "Dr. Pete," began sharing the recipes he cooked for family and friends. His daughter and son-in-law turned those recipes into a packaged product line, and the mixes are now sold in specialty food shops across the country.

Perfect for:

• Baking a moist olive oil cake with Meyer Lemon Infused Olive Oil or Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil
• Making the Italian Herb Focaccia with Basil Infused Olive Oil for extra herb flavor
• A quick weeknight dessert when you don't have time to bake from scratch
• Bringing a homemade-tasting bread to a potluck or dinner party
• Pairing the Chocolate Olive Oil Cake Mix with Butter Infused Olive Oil for a richer crumb

Great as a gift for:

• Home bakers who want an easy, foolproof result
• Hostess gifts, paired with the oil the recipe calls for
• Housewarming gifts for someone setting up a new kitchen
• Corporate gifts and client thank-yous
