No butter chocolate cake

Looking for a scrumptious and healthier alternative to traditional chocolate cake? Our No Butter Chocolate Cake is the perfect dessert for you. By replacing butter with olive oil, we retain the richness while introducing a subtle, distinct flavor. This easy-to-follow recipe promises a moist, delicious cake that will leave you and your guests craving for more.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1 cup sugar
200g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g
2/3 cup olive oil
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is creamy and light in color. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
3. Integrate Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour. This will help to remove any lumps and create a smoother batter.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the sifted flour mixture into the egg mixture in small batches, mixing well after each addition. Continue until the flour is fully incorporated.
5. Add Milk and Olive Oil:
Pour in the milk and olive oil into the batter. Mix until well combined and the batter is smooth.
6. Pour the Batter:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Cool:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
Once completely cool, slice and serve as is, or you can frost and decorate as desired!

Tips:

- Make sure to use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.

- Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender and fluffy cake.

- Let the cake cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.

- For an extra touch, dust powdered sugar or cocoa powder on top before serving.

- If you want a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.

Congratulations! You've just made a delectable No Butter Chocolate Cake that’s both healthy and irresistibly delicious. This cake is proof that you don’t need butter to bake a moist, flavorful dessert. Enjoy your creation with a glass of milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream!
