Why measuring olive oil by cup goes wrong
Olive oil weighs 216 g/cup — close to neutral oils. The flavor is the variable. Mild-flavored 'light' olive oil is acceptable in most baking. Robust extra-virgin olive oil tastes peppery, grassy, sometimes fruity, and that flavor survives the oven.
Practical tips for working with olive oil
Extra-virgin olive oil shines in citrus cakes, focaccia, and chocolate desserts where its peppery finish becomes part of the design. It fights with vanilla and most spice profiles. For a generic muffin recipe, use the lightest, mildest olive oil you can find — or just use canola.
Note from this ingredient's record: Light or extra-virgin. EVOO has a measurable peppery finish that works in citrus cakes and focaccia and fights with vanilla.
