Chocolate & Orange Olive Oil Bundt Cake

Prepare a bundt pan by greasing and flouring extremely well, be sure to get every crevice to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add cocoa powder to the hot coffee, creating a chocolate paste, next add olive oil and sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes on high until well combined.

Next add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until slightly incorporated. Be sure to stop and scrape the sides/paddle to incorporate ingredients.

Finally add the remaining wet ingredients: eggs, yogurt, orange zest, and vanilla. Mix on medium-high until a smooth batter forms.

Pour mixture into your prepared bundt pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when tested.

Remove cake from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip over and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before icing.

In a small bowl, add chocolate chunks and melt in the microwave for 1-2 minutes in 30-second intervals. Remove and stir after every 30 seconds, you want the chocolate to just slightly start to melt but not get hot. Alternatively, use a traditional double boiler method.

Once the chocolate is melted, pour in orange fused olive oil and begin mixing until fully combined and chocolate is smooth and glossy.
