Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot water
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a round cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the olive oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
- Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth and pour it into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
