Amazing Chocolate Olive Oil Cake

This amazing chocolate olive oil cake is decade-waste, moist and incredibly simple and is the best chocolate cake you can make. It has a rich deep chocolate flavor and tender bread crumbs, making it the ultimate dessert for chocolate lovers. Listen, I have a lot of chocolate cakes in my life and this can’t be beaten. If you are worried that the olive flavor will outweigh the cake, don’t! You can’t taste it, but it deepens the flavor and provides a rich moisture that cannot be beaten.

Why do you like this recipe

Because: It is the delicious, softest, and wettest chocolate cake on the planet.

If that doesn’t convince you, here are some other reasons:

  • The batter is simple, simple and fast.
  • Recipes can be doubled and made into chocolate layer cakes. The cake layer is strong enough to stack and frost.
  • It’s equally delicious plains as it’s served with cream or frosting.

Ingredients for chocolate olive oil cakes

This batter is divided into two parts. First, the chocolate mixture:

  • Cocoa powder: Use natural, unsweetened cocoa powder in this recipe. I didn’t test the recipe with cocoa powder in Dutch; it might need to be adjusted (reduced baking soda and added baking powder).
  • boiling water: After boiling, measure the water to make sure it is full and that the water does not evaporate.
  • vinegar: Helps soft, moist, lightweight crumbs, and also helps fermentation.
  • Baking soda + salt: Emission and flavor are necessary.

Second, it is the sugar + olive oil mixture. Here are the ingredients you need:

  • granulated sugar: The amount of sugar required in the recipe makes the cake slightly sweet. Garlic sugar can be added 1/4 cup to serve as a sweet cake – although not more than it increases, otherwise it may affect the overall cake structure and bread crumbs.
  • brown sugar: Adds deeper flavor and rich moisture to the cake.
  • olive oil: I use Kirkland’s extra olive oil every day. No need to pick with expensive or specialty olive oil.
  • yolk: Using egg yolks alone will make the cake thicker (in a good way), but also has enough fluffy, crumb structure.
  • Vanilla extract: Added size to the chocolate cake flavor.

Baking tips for this chocolate cake:

Remember these other tips to prevent chocolate cakes.

  1. Use a light aluminum baking tray. Deep coated, non-stick pans, ceramic or glass pans will not bake evenly.
  2. Before baking, gently tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped bubbles.
  3. Try not to turn on the oven while the cake is baking as it will cause the cake to fall off.
  4. Bake until the top pops up and then insert the toothpick in the middle clean or with damp debris. Don’t bake! If you are not sure when to remove it, err on the side below baking.
  5. This chocolate olive oil cake is slightly rounded out of the oven and then falls a little bit so it is evenly flat on the top, which is normal.

What about olive oil?

You might be surprised to find that cakes made with olive oil don’t actually taste…just like olive oil.

Instead, olive oil Enhanced The flavor doesn’t overwhelm the cake with strong olive oil. Olive oil also ensures a soft, soft cake crumb.

I suspect olive oil will be the best oil you can use in cakes in neutral flavors or butter! However, this non-chocolate olive oil cake convinced me. And this chocolate version completely seals the deal. The fluffy cakes and bread crumbs produced by olive oil are stronger than butter cream cakes.

This chocolate olive oil cake is not only an average, good, cake I can make. IT is extraordinary. Real, truly extraordinary.

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. On the bottom of the light 9-inch round baking pan with parchment along the bottom (see note). Gently lubricate the bottom and sides of the pan. Set aside.

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Add vinegar, baking soda and salt (the mixture will swell) and mix until combined. Set aside to cool.

  • In a large bowl, use a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with paddle or whisk attachment, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, olive oil, egg yolks and vanilla. Mix for 3 minutes until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Do not mix for a short time in this step.

  • Turn cool the chocolate mixture (should be room temperature or slightly warm, but not hot). Mix until mixed evenly.

  • Add the flour and mix until there are no dry stripes left and the batter is mixed evenly; do not over-mix.

  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Gently press 2 to 3 times on the counter to remove any bubbles. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the middle is clean or with damp bread crumbs, and the top spring gently restores to the touch. Do not overbake or the edges of the cake may dry.

  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Run a thin knife on the edge and place the cake on a wire rack or on a plate to cool completely.

  • Serve with lightly sweet butter, fruit and/or ice cream. It’s also delicious, simply sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.

Pan: Light-colored aluminum pans bake more evenly than black-coated non-stick cake pans.
