Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, or springform pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and hot brewed coffee. Stir until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in another bowl using a whisk or hand mixer, combine sugar, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat for about 3 minutes.
- Pour the cocoa-coffee mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Sift in the dry ingredients over the bowl with the wet mixture and gently stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cake has cooled, you can dust it with powdered sugar for a simple finishing touch. Serve like this, with a dollop of whipped cream or some ice cream.
- Enjoy your moist and delicious Chocolate Olive Oil Cake!
Notes
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Since this cake relies on the flavors of cocoa, good olive oil, and coffee, using high-quality ingredients will make a noticeable difference in the final taste.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your eggs and milk are at room temperature. Room-temperature ingredients mix more evenly and create a smoother batter.
- Properly Measure Your Ingredients: Use dry measuring cups for dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa) and liquid measuring cups for wet ingredients (oil, milk, coffee) to ensure accuracy.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: Sifting the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda) together helps break up lumps and even distribute leavening agents.
- Mix Until Just Combined: When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix. Mix until the ingredients are combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can lead to a dense cake.
- Hot Coffee Mixture: When combining the hot brewed coffee with cocoa powder, stir until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved. This helps intensify the chocolate flavor. You can also use boiling water.
- Preheat Your Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the cake inside. Baking at the correct temperature is crucial for even baking.
- Proper Pan Preparation: Grease the cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy cake removal without sticking.
