I love an all in one bowl recipe where you have minimal cleaning up after! This great chocolate loaf cake recipe is quick and easy to put together and bakes up so delicious. The wonderful thing about this chocolate loaf cake is that it’s as lovely simply dusted with icing sugar but will happily accept being dressed in melted chocolate or a buttercream, a whipped cream and decorated with some chocolate swirls. I’ve included a recipe for a chocolate icing below if you would like to use that.
This gooey chocolate cake recipe was given to me by a friend and is made with olive oil in place of butter. It’s totally delicious and great for those who don’t or can’t eat wheat or gluten as ground almonds are used in place of flour so of course, it’s ideal for gluten free diets too. It’s also dairy free which is great for those who want a fantastic cake without butter or milk.
Try to use a springform cake tin, grease it well and line the base with parchment; it really helps when it’s time to remove the cake. The result is sort of like a brownie in cake form. Seriously good
