Molten Chocolate & Olive Oil Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt 2/3 of the chocolate in the microwave. (Or you could also use a double-boiler over the stove top!) Roughly chop the rest of the chocolate.

Step 2

In 2 bowls, separate the egg yolks from the whites.

Step 3

Add 1/2 of the powdered sugar to the bowl of egg yolks. Whisk to combine. Mix in the melted chocolate, olive oil & a pinch of salt. Add most of the almond flour & the chopped chocolate. Stir it all together.

Step 4

Add a pinch of salt to the bowl of egg whites. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Add the rest of the powdered sugar. Beat again.

Step 5

Gently fold the sugar-egg whites into the chocolate batter.

Step 6

Grease a cake pan. Evenly coat the pan with the remaining almond flour. Pour in the batter. Bake for 30 min at 350°F.

Step 7

Let the cake cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Slice & enjoy!
