Homemade Black Olive cake (story in text)

So the story is that when I was like 5 or 6 my mom told me that she was going to home make my birthday cake and I could pick any fruit I wanted as a filling... But I was a picky eater back then and didn't like cake with fruit in it. So she just asked me what my favorite fruit was instead, and I was a smartass and said Black Olives. Then I was upset she wouldn't make me a black olive cake.

So now 30 years later I have finally made that dream come true

Spoiler for how it tasted:

>!I guess it kinda worked? It brought out the sweetness of the olives and the bit of saltiness cut through the mellow flavors of the whipped cream and cake. Everyone who tried it ended up eating all of it but the general consensus is that most other fruit would have worked a lot better but the cake and cream were delicious. I'd say that's mostly a success and that I never need to do this again!<
