Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 180g
- ⅔ cup almond flour 80g
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
- ¾ cup cocoa powder 60g
- ½ teaspoon salt 3g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 8g
- ½ teaspoon baking soda 2g
- ½ cup olive oil or neutral oil, 120ml
- ¾ cup oat milk or other non-dairy milk, 160 ml
- 10 tablespoons strong brewed coffee see notes, 150 ml
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5ml
- ½ cup sliced almonds 60g
- Powdered sugar to serve optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175° C). Grease a 10” (25cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute everything.
- Create a well in the center and pour in oat milk, coffee, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour into prepared baking pan and shake to level.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds in a single layer over the surface.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out with just a few crumbs. Cool completely in the pan.
- Serve the same day or can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. Individual slices can be stored in the freezer (wrapped individually in plastic before being placed in an airtight container) for up to 1 month.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt (regular or non-dairy).
Notes
- Use untoasted almonds on the cake, as pre-toasted ones will dry out and become bitter with the long bake time.
- Tap or lightly shake the cake pan once you pour the batter to help remove any lingering air bubbles from the batter.
- Wait until the chocolate cake is completely cooled before adding any toppings to it.
