Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil - 56 gr
  • 3 oz dark chocolate - 85 gr; you can also use milk chocolate resulting in a much more delicate flavor
  • 1.5 cups sugar - 300 gr or 10.5 oz
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose or 00 flour - 100 gr or 3.5 oz
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Water bath the chocolate - in pieces - until completely melted.
  3. Let chill to room temperature.
  4. Mix all the other ingredients and add the melted chocolate. Amalgamate well.
  5. Butter and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking tin.
  6. Pour in the batter and bake for 25-35 minutes until you see the top dry, and when piercing the center with a skewer or a knife, it comes out almost completely clean.

  7. Bring to room temperature and cut the cake into more or less 2 inches squares.
