Chocolate Olive Oil Sourdough Cake Ingredients * 2 cups flour * 1/2 cup olive oil * 1/2 cup active sourdough starter * 1 cup water * 2 eggs * 2 cups sugar * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 tsp finely ground or instant coffee (optional) * 2 teaspoons vanilla * 3/4 cup cocoa powder * 1 cup whole milk * 2 teaspoons baking soda INSTRUCTIONS 1. In a bowl, mix together flour, olive oil, sourdough starter, and water. Cover and allow to sit overnight in a warm place. In the morning, put in the fridge until ready to use. You can use right away or refrigerate for up to two days. 2. In a large bowl, mix together sugar, salt, & finely ground coffee (optional). 3. To the dry ingredients, add eggs, vanilla, cocoa powder, and whole milk. 4. Add the sourdough mixture into the rest of the ingredients. Whisk to incorporate until completely combined & smooth. 5. Add baking soda and gently mix until incorporated. 6. Preheat the oven to 350º F. 7. Prepare two, 9-inch cake pans with butter. 8. Divide cake batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. 9. Bake for 30 minutes (up to 35 mins), or until a toothpick comes out clean. If using smaller pans, bake for less time. 10. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely. I prefer to wrap in Saran Wrap + tinfoil or bags and then put in the freezer until ready to use, (usually I make the day ahead or early in the day). Helps keep the cake moist.
