About this Recipe
By: Emma Parsons
Our Estate Select extra virgin olive oil gives this cake a gooey brownie-like texture that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 125 mL Liviana Estate Select extra virgin olive oil
- 200 g brown sugar
- 5 eggs
- 40 g almond flour
- ½ tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
- Extra cocoa powder for dusting
Top this cake with some fresh berries to compliment the chocolatey flavour.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180℃ and Grease a cake tin and line the bottom with baking paper.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate in the microwave, removing it every 30 seconds to stir.
Step 3
Add the olive oil to the melted chocolate while whisking continuously.
Step 4
Separate the eggs.
Step 5
Place the egg whites into a bowl and whisk until a soft peak forms. Then start adding the sugar one tablespoon at a time, whisking in between. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Add the egg yolks, almond flour, and salt to the melted chocolate mixture and mix well.
Step 7
Slowly fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites until it is all incorporated. Careful not to lose too much air in the mixture.
Step 8
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 45 minutes. The cake is ready when a skewer is inserted into the center of the cake and comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the tin and letting it cool completely. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
