Loved the consistency of this; almost like a savory tea cake. I'll add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes next time and some well-rinsed capers.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups black olives -- chopped and pitted, (I was going low with my delicious Turkish olives, so I used canned olives)
3/4 cup canola oil
1 cup plain yogurt
2 cups flour
3 eggs
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint -- or 1 1/2 tbsp dried mint flakes
1 bunch green onions -- chopped finely
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes -- (if you want your cake to be a spicy one)
1 tablespoon black seeds -- nigella or black sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt -- (depends on what kind of olives you use)
1 teaspoon baking powder

Beat the eggs and add yogurt and oil. Mix well.
Add olives, green onion, mint, red pepper flakes, salt, and black seeds to
the mixture and mix.
Add baking powder and flour. You'll have a runny mixture.
Pour in a greased oven dish. I used a 12 x 8 inches oval oven dish.

Bake in for 40-50 minutes in a preheated oven at 375F.
Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before you cut and serve.

Makes 24 2x2-inch pieces

It's a gloomy, cloudy, rainy, and miserable Sunday. The best to do seemed
like baking a cake, making Turkish tea, and watching a movie. I found this
recipe from a very popular Turkish foodblog: Portakal A?ac?. Except for a
couple of additions, I followed the recipe.
