Your black bottom cupcakes from many years ago are actually a riff on the wacky cake recipe. Maybe melted butter? Certainly no valley. I can find out more, though. And so easy I can make it as a second dessert most times. Awesome They love the name of it! Ive already made this cake three times and it was absolutely amazing every time! Do you think this recipe would work well as cupcakes? Were missing your book release by mere hours! Its very good, but we had a bit of difficultly mixing it smooth. BUT this morning? I was wondering how changing it up with cocoa might work but youve done the research here! Does Dutch processed cocoa work for this? Hi, I was wondering if i could double the recipe and use a bigger pan to make this as a birthday cake. I used pastry flour because I was low on all purpose, Dutch-process cocoa, coffee, and cider vinegar. Its one of the best chocolate cakes Ive ever made. Or try another liquid sweetener like honey. Love this recipe. Mine did also collapse in the middle, like some others commented, but I thought it still turned out so good. And vegan without substitution! You do know Spain is definitely not Greece, right? I used some Greek olive oil that came from a specialty market, but next time I will used a milder olive oil I thought it gave a too prominent a grassy, or astringent quality to the cake. WebPreheat your oven to 400f and spray a half sheet pan with vegetable oil and then line with parchment paper. Any idea what could have gone wrong? 20% reduction shouldnt destroy a cake. What went wrong? I made this today following the recipe exactly, using coffee as the liquid. yes! Both taste equally delicious. Everything turned out beautifully, however I reduced baking soda partway to 1 1/4 tsp to avoid cratering per the comments, and got just a little tiny dip in the middle of each, easily covered by the glaze. But also, it took 40 min to cook and was still quite wet inside, and HUGE depression in the center. I did open the oven at 30 minutes when it was still very liquid (altitude means that everything takes longer to cook), and it sunk shortly after, so maybe that did it? Gosh that looks insanely good. My glaze thickened slightly as Ive read others doing. To be honest, I had never heard of or tried a chocolate olive oil cake before, but oh, do I intend to fix that now!! This was delicious! AND, as someone who is dairy sensitive, I can eat the entire cake without consequences. I made it into cupcakes (I got 12) and substituted cup for cup gluten free flour. I looked at this and thought perfect was to use up the cocoa powder, olive oil, sugars, and flour. Learn from me!! making this note for myself for next time either go 9 or let it bake longer! I made this following the metric instructions and ended up with a very liquid soup-y batter. Deb love this cake and am planning on making it for Thanksgiving. The cake tears very easily so be careful when moving it about (but it will also come back together very well if you press the torn bit back in). But, I got to clean my oven which was long overdue, so happy ending, and the cake was salvageable. Huge success! Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) and grease the bottom and the sides of a 95-inch (2313 cm) loaf pan or a 9-inch (23 cm) spring form. I make a couple of double espresso shots then top up with cold water to 355ml. My oven required the full 35 min. Maybe the amount of flour? The cake has a really deep chocolate flavor, almost as if removing the dairy and eggs has let that shine through more. Its perfect. Does it just get smooshed when you turn it over on the cooling rack (I always just leave it to cool in the cake pan so I am missing some critical skills here..). Making this today for a second time. Of course I had to eat those bits right away, just to keep things tidy! Its wonderful the way it is! Thinking of you often in New York and sending love. Very interested in trying the olive oil here. Europe is, as you might know, a collection of very diverse countries. I didnt have dark brown sugar, so I made my own by adding molasses to my light brown sugar. I had zero issues! I was slightly hesitant about adding olive oil for the glaze, but it was delicious. I used coffee instead of water and some absurdly old unsweetened cocoa and the cake flavor was still wonderful! I made this with self raising flour and no baking powder, I also halved the amount of sugar (I used all brown sugar), didnt use the vinegar and didnt make the glaze (its a lovely cake to have with a cup of tea, glaze or no glaze!). I didnt make the glaze because I prefer a dusting of powdered sugar or whipped cream. Made if for foodie friends and they loved it, too. Thanks! The batter (and ease of putting it together) reminds me of my favorite Hersheys Black Magic Cake. Its been my go-to chocolate cake for years. This is very very good. Thanks for the tip! :). UPDATE made the cake again today using less baking soda (about 1 tsp / 5g ) perfect! Theres a new vegan cake recipe here today: Plush Coconut Cake!!! Super moist and delicious. Came out quite good. If I freeze this cake, would I glaze it before freezing or after its defrosted? This is spectacular! Anyone tried that? I broke a big chunk out of mine that way! Montral! Thank you, Deb, for the always fabulous chocolatey baked goods! I presently have extra virgin in my cupboard. The first was served with a dusting of powdered sugar (good). For this of us relying on this to be vegan, could you substitute the chocolate in the frosting with carob chips? If you like firmly structured cakes and can eat eggs, you should make a cake with eggs. I had the same dip in the middle with 1.5t baking soda (darn, shoulda read the comments first!) Do you recommend using extra virgin olive oil or light olive oil? Couldnt be easier, either. Im finding it incredibly soupy. My cake had a slight depression as well. If I were to make this again I would use a less flavorful (cheaper) olive oil, as the flavor was a little overwhelming, and all coffee instead of half coffee half water to cut the olive oil flavor. Please allow me to introduce you to one without which no birthday around here is complete. It wasnt really an issue since the glaze solved the issuebut if I really decide to get into bakingI will try to make sure I get it perfect with no cracks! Ive already been informed I have to make it again for our next office party! It tastes delicious, but falls apart when I try to remove it from the pan. I ended up realizing that my baby doesnt have an opinion on chocolate but has STRONG opinions about blueberries, so I made a double recipe of your perfect blueberry muffins and half a recipe of the cream cheese frosting from the book so that I could frost a few, including the one for the birthday boy, but leave the rest plain, since the rest of the guests were adults. Seems like it was too much molasses b/c the cake is very sticky, but I bet the flavor will be fine if not quite right. I also added a tsp of my homemade rum vanilla to it. *This cake looks moist and decadent. Thanks for the answer! I also used light brown sugar since its all I had (instead of dark). The only thing issue that I had was a few slight cracks in the top. I should have bought tickets the second they came out . Woe is me. Folks really enjoyed it and it was fun to introduce everyone to something new. So delicious, and had to share with my parents, who are dairy-free. Waste of time, waste of ingredients, waste of money. This time, I used all regular flour and swapped coconut oil w/ a top off of vegetable oil for the olive oil. Im loving how you link to recipes in Instagram, but Im making more of your recipes than I ever did. Thank you so much, Deb! Question about the type of olive oil used EVOO that Id use for salad dressing? Like some other commenters suggested, I dropped the baking soda to 1 t. and it was great rose beautifully without a dip in the middle.

Did not know difference in unsweetened cocoa powder, and cocoa powdermy store did not have just cocoa powder so I added a little sugar to the unsweetened for the frosting. and it was taking so long to bake that i was worried about the edges burning and i took it out and it cratered. Theyre the same sorry for the confusion. Thanks, Deb. I made this with Hersheys Special Dark cocoa and love it. I ended up using this cakes recipe as inspiration, but subbed an equal weight of flour for the cocoa powder, and added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp ground cloves. I was not successful in that aspect. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and sugars, until combined. I baked the cake for another 30 minutes before I gave up.
