Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour the cocoa-coffee mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. Sift in the dry ingredients over the bowl with the wet mixture and gently stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
