Chocolate Olive Oil Cake

February 7, 2023

Our adaptation to a flourless chocolate cake sourced from nigella.com, made with kyoord olive oil is an immediate classic. Originally created for the gluten-free and dairy-free dinner guests, and was loved by everyone. Consists of a few simple steps with only 8 ingredients - our signature kyoord olive oil being one of them - it is one of those easy recipes to follow. Not to mention everyone in the house will be following the seductive smell right into the kitchen.

We suggest serving with any topping, chocolate sauce, vegan whipped cream and sliced up strawberries.
