A simple, good chocolate cake should be in every recipe collection. For us, that means: lots of cocoa for an intense but not-too-sweet chocolate flavor, and olive oil in the batter, which makes the cake moist and light. Did you know that cakes made with olive oil even stay fresh longer because the oil binds moisture better?
We prefer to use MANI Bläuel "The Kitchen Hero" – our mild, 100% organic virgin olive oil, perfect for hot cooking and ideal for delicious cake baking.
