BLOOD ORANGE CHOCOLATE OLIVE OIL CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Blood Orange Chocolate Olive Oil Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: blood oranges, olive oil, all purpose flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda, kosher salt, organic sugar, filtered water, white vinegar, powdered sugar, pistachio

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 blood oranges
½ cup olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
⅔ cup dark cocoa powder, unsweetened
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ cups organic sugar
1 cup filtered water
1 ½ teaspoons white vinegar
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup pistachio, raw, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Zest all 5 blood oranges and divide between 3 separate small bowls: 2 bowls should contain the zest of 1 orange each, and 1 bowl should contain the zest of 3 oranges. Set aside the 2 bowls with less zest for later use.
  • Add the olive oil to the bowl with the zest of 3 oranges. Set aside for 30-60 minutes to infuse.
  • Juice 3 of the oranges and set aside 3 tablespoons of juice for the glaze. Reserve the remaining orange juice in a liquid measuring cup. You should have about ½ cup. (120 ML)
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚F).
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the sugar, blood orange olive oil (with the zest), ½ cup (120 ml) of the blood orange juice, water, and white vinegar. Whisk until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
  • Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8-9-inch (20-22 cm) round cake pan with olive oil, and place a parchment round in the bottom of the pan. (To make the parchment round, tear off an 18 x 13-inch (45x33 cm) piece of parchment paper. With a long edge closest to you, fold down the top right corner to meet the bottom edge. Press down on the long side of the triangle to flatten, then turn so that side is facing you and fold in half, bringing the points together. Turn again so the long side of the new triangle is on top and fold in half twice more. Flip the cake pan upside down and hold the pointy end of the triangle at the center of the pan. Trim the excess parchment that extends past the edge of the pan. Flip the pan, unfold the triangle, and place the parchment round in the bottom).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake bakes, prepare the toppings: Cut the top and the bottoms off the 2 remaining zested oranges. Using a paring knife, carefully remove the skin and pith from the oranges until you are left with just the flesh. Turn each orange on its side and cut into ¼-inch (6 mm) wide rounds. Place the rounds between 2 paper towels to blot some of the excess juice. This will allow them to stick to the glaze more effectively.
  • Make the glaze: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the reserved zest of 1 orange, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of blood orange juice. Whisk into a glaze. It should be thick, but spreadable.
  • Remove the cake from the oven. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet to cool completely.
  • Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Decorate the top with the orange slices, pistachios, and remaining orange zest.
  • Enjoy!

GRANNY'S CHOCOLATE OIL CAKE



Granny's Chocolate Oil Cake image

The best chocolate cake you will ever eat. Do not skip cooking the frosting or it changes the whole cake

Provided by Angela Mason

Categories     Chocolate

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 c sugar
2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
1 c soured milk (add 1 tsp. vinegar to milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c boiling water
FROSTING
1/2 c butter
1/4 c cocoa powder
6 Tbsp milk
4 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9x13 cake pan.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add the rest of the ingredients for the cake. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed
  • 3. Pour into prepared pan, and bake 35 - 40 minutes until done.
  • 4. When cake is almost done baking prepare frosting. Heat butter, cocoa, and milk to boiling. Pour over powdered sugar and mix well.
  • 5. Allow cake to cool for about 10 minutes. Poke small holes in the cake, I use the end of a wooden spoon, then frost the cake while still warm.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This ensures that the ingredients mix together smoothly and evenly, resulting in a consistent batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: If the cake is underbaked, it will be gooey and undercooked. If it is overbaked, it will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Use a variety of toppings to add flavor and texture to the cake: Some popular toppings include chocolate chips, nuts, whipped cream, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Chocolate oil cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. With its rich chocolate flavor and tender crumb, chocolate oil cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
