Ingredients:

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 10g baking powder
• 3g salt
• 3 large eggs
• 200g sugar
• 160ml olive oil
• 120ml fresh orange juice
• Zest of 1 orange
• 100g dark chocolate, chopped

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• sifter
• 9-inch cake pan
• grater

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Slowly pour in the olive oil while continuing to whisk. Add in the orange juice and orange zest, mixing until well combined.

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slices of this delectable Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

A clever tip for this recipe is to elevate the flavors by adding a splash of Grand Marnier or Cointreau to the batter for an extra kick of orange liqueur. This will take this already delicious cake to a whole new level of sophistication.
