Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Generously spray a 9 inch by 13 inch pan with nonstick spray. Sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, add olive oil, sugar, vanilla extract and eggs. Use a hand mixer to beat until combined. Do not over mix the eggs.
- Then, pour in milk. Beat to combine. Do not over mix.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine, until no lumps remain. Batter will be relatively thin.
- Pour into greased cake pan.
- Bake for 29 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove cake from oven. Allow it to fully cool before frosting.
- Lastly, slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Olive oil really brings out the chocolate flavor. For a slightly more mild flavor, use avocado oil or vegetable oil.
- For an even more intense chocolate flavor, add in a pinch of espresso powder to the cake batter.
- I have not tested this recipe with another flour. King Arthur Flour gluten free 1 to 1 flour and Bob's Red Mill gluten free baking flour are my favorites.
- Do not over mix the cake batter.
- Batter will be pretty thin.
- Bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Do not frost the cake until completely cooled. Otherwise, the frosting will melt.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- This can be baked in two 8 inch round cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Or, bake in two 9 inch round cake pans for about 27 minutes. These will be thin layers.
