Cake

I know you only like whipped cream on pie and hot chocolate, but, I have found the perfect foil for whipped cream: Melissa Clark's Campari Olive Oil cake. Just like with yerba maté and turmeric,  dairy and the bitterness combine interestingly and deliciously. Ms. Clark tells us that the unassuming look of the cake didn't stop countless people on media from liking the recipe, the ingredients here for you perusal.
