Italian Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
Ingredients
¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup California Olive Ranch 100% California Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ¾ cup whole milk or plain yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- (Optional 2–3 Tbsp fresh citrus juice, orange or blood orange)
- ½–¾ cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the sides. - Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly pale. Slowly whisk in olive oil, followed by milk (or yogurt), vanilla extract, and citrus juice if using. - Combine
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in chopped chocolate. - Bake
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. - Cool
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. - Finishing Options
Lightly Sweetened Whipped Cream
Whip 1 cup cold heavy cream with:
1–2 tsp sugar
½ tsp vanilla
Small pinch of sea salt
Whip to soft peaks and serve alongside the cake or atop with fresh berries. - Simple Chocolate Sauce
Gently melt:
½ cup chocolate chips
2–3 Tbsp heavy cream
Stir until smooth and drizzle over cake. - Powdered Sugar Finish
Dust the cooled cake lightly with powdered sugar just before serving. - Tip
Chocolate olive oil cakes are best slightly underbaked. Pull the cake when the center is just set to ensure a soft, tender crumb that stays moist for days.
