RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line and grease your cake tin.

Add the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and instant coffee into a large bowl or stand mixer. Whisk and add a little air to combine.

Add the milk, Lupi Special Selection Delicate Extra Virgin Olive Oil, eggs and vanilla to the flour mixture and whisk until combined. Boil the jug! Reduce the mixer speed to low and add 1 cup of boiling water. Don’t panic. The mixture will become very runny. Pour into your cake tin and bake for 40-50 minutes until cooked.

Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes in your cake tin. Turn out and let cool completely. Ice with chocolate buttercream or dust with icing sugar.
