Or a thick simple syrup? Mine did sink a bit; Im assuming thats due to high altitude or that It could have used 5 more minutes in the oven and 5 extra minutes cooling in the pan. The cake was amazingly moist. Then she hacked through the crust on the rim of the pan to turn the cake out (which took some encouragement). After having just made this cake (although I know you are asking Deb) I do NOT think it would work as a yule log. It took my oven a full 50 minutes to get it right. Mine was nice and moist, but a little crumbly. I will definitely make it again after I get a bigger pan! :) I didnt make the glaze since I was really craving something purely cakey, but Im going to give it a go next time if I want to leave out the corn syrup (dont feel like Id get the use out of a full bottle) is there anything else I should substitute, or can I safely just leave it out and keep the rest of the recipe as-is? They both turned out perfect. If Im trying to make a cake Oreo-ish, I often just swap a couple tablespoons of the regular cocoa and it darkens and flavors the whole cake. Or perhaps a square baking pan is the way to go here with coconut oil instead of olive oil?! It all turned out perfectly. Definitely using the apple cider vinegar from now on!!! Could this have anything to do with my suddenly soupy cake? Do you have any tips for substituting corn syrup in this recipe? The cake has a very slight depression in the middle and the glaze didnt set very well (may do better after the fridge), but its too decadent for me to care about that. I added one egg and did other high altitude adjustments and it was delightful. What that is about, I do not know because I did spray the parchment with cooking spray. I do wish you could make a stop in North Carolina. I made this with Hersheys Special Dark cocoa and love it. Welcome any other ideas for next time to prevent this! Ive actually really been wanting to make a vanilla version. Made this recipe last weekend with a little less amount of suggar. Please advise :), First off, this is the first cake I baked ever! We had a blast (oh yeswe started out with Jasmines, a tip of the hat to one of your fans, David Lebovitz)! the cake itself took an additional 10 minutes in the oven* and the glaze on monday morning. Thank you so much! Substituted gluten-free flour for regular, switched out the olive oil and used apple sauce instead, used dairy-free choc chips and used flax oil (the only oil I can use) for the glaze. Made this last week with red wine instead of water in the cake, and a blend of milk and white chocolate for the glaze (what I had at hand), and it was incredible- definitely ADULT, though, so keep that in mind! This was excellent! Thanks for the great memory! Thank you! I needed to freeze mine and thus needed to wrap it in plastic and maneuvering a large slab of extra delicate cake nearly ended in disaster. It was super easy to pull together. Look forward to your new book! The kids didnt complain, but Ill have to make it again to see whats up with the real deal. I was able to cover it up nicely with the chocolate frosting, though, you can barely tell. Overall, it was a cinch. Montral! I have no idea how anyone made this recipe work and I do think this recipe needs to be re-tested. stevens high school dress code; corozal, belize real estate for rent. Can this recipe be doubled to make 24+ cupcakes? I added a little orange zest to the glaze, and it worked really well with the subtle olive oil taste. Let me tell you even that was DELICIOUS! It never fails. The cake itself was really moist, rich and chocolatey. Also I made this in an 8x8x3 pan and it only juuuust barely fit, though the volume should be the same as a 9 round pan. Hi Deb, how do you think this cake will bake in a really pretty bundt pan? But they exist. While this cake tastes delicious the presentation does not meet my standards. Do you know if this recipe would work for cupcakes? Everyone raved about it and thought they were professionally baked, suggesting we open a catering business. I made a raspberry glaze for the cake and it was absolutely delicious! Word of advice. Also have always wondered how on earth this cake WORKS. Or are they two different things? I was thrilled. Everyone loved it, said it was very moist. I had to make something for a work function that was both gluten free and dairy free which is not my area of expertise, so I was worried. Personally, Id rather drizzle warmed pure over the cake slices before serving I get chocolate cake with strawberry puree at a certain restaurant every time I go there and its delicious. The olive oil has just the right earthiness to accentuate the chocolate, and the glaze is perfect (I made it without corn syrup). Thank you for inspiring kitchen confidence!!! Ill make it again, just as a single layer and reduced baking soda. Thanks for the vegan frosting recipe. yes! (And, for a Christmas potluck, dressed up with sparkly gold sprinkles it was appropriately festive.) I made this over the weekend and overall I think it turned out great! Webcandace nelson chocolate olive oil cake candace nelson chocolate olive oil cake. Can this be frozen completed? NC has bookstores, mam! I used a heaping tsp of baking soda and didnt have the sinking issue noted in other comments. Still tasted good but very not pretty. Forgot to add I left out the corn syrup from the glaze and it was still shiny and worked out great. Super easy and my new go-to quick chocolate cake. Thanks for the recipe! Been wondering what to do with that bottle hanging around, Excited to make this very soon. The cake rose beautifully, and domed ever so slightly in the center. I love this cake! Mahlab and mastic, if you like Greek baked goods (not sure if theyre cheaper to buy there, but they are specialty); wine, if you drink (and/or ouzo, but unless you like the taste of anise/licorice, you might not like it); and of course, olive oil. Thanks, Deb. This cake is amazing. many thanks, Maryam. I didnt have corn syrup so I used agave syrup instead and it worked well. Her recipe does not call for coffee but I have used that instead of water and it really does add to flavor. Adding to what Anon said Unlike King Arthurs measure-for-measure g-f flour or other cup-for-cup g-f flours, this blend contains no xanthan gum to act as a binder and stabilizer (to give the cake structure). Deb! I didnt even make the glaze and it is perfectly decadent and so easy to make! It tasted amazing and really hit the spot. Maybe because there are no eggs? I am going to make this cake multiple times because the first one disappeared so quickly! I had to bake my cake for 45-50 mins. It was just so easy and delicious. What about using black cocoa? Came out perfectly after 40 minutes. I grew up on Wacky Cake and now my kids make it too! Maybe try less baking soda as discussed above? Does it matter which type of olive oil? Next time Ill try coffee instead of water. I cut up some strawberries and tossed with a little sugar to serve with it, and its a big hit. It was more like a thick frosting and it took a lot to get it barely to the edges. Its delicious. If I wanted to make this into mini cake bites in a mini muffin pan (I wont call it a cupcake because I dont expect it to be fluffy etc), how would I modify? I had the same problem with the glaze. It is the only cake I can count on to come out great. Not sure why old corn syrup? My vegan uncle is going to love it. Cake flour used. Perhaps the cream cheese smoothed out any oily taste that others have mentioned. I only cooked it 30 seconds in the microwave and then stirred, stirred, stirred, so thankfully I had no burnt chocolate chips. So moist and rich. Id probably start by swapping the cocoa by weight for flour, dark brown sugar for more white sugar, and you could use coconut oil, I bet, instead of olive oil, if you wish. Thanks again! It tastes good, but the whole look was ruined. I un-veganized it but its a great base recipe to play with. Still dipped slightly but very very good. This cake is so moist and flavourful. Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3. I tried it in a bundt pan, and it was nice but was a small ring. loved this! They got it from House & Garden circa 1976. Have used express powder dissolved in water and that worked well too. Okay, Im not really a fan of cake- Ive always preferred tarts over cakes- so much so that I actually got rid of my cake pans last year because I never used them. I really cannot sayIve only made it in 2x 8 pansHowever, Deb has a formula for this, iirc.its part of the wedding cake story from a few years ago. Any common on how this recipes does at high altitude?? I probably wouldve eaten the glaze with a spoon by itself if I hadnt made it for my husbands bday. Thanks, Deb, for this absolutely scrummy cake recipe. Came out perfectly after 31 minutes in the oven. Forever grateful for this recipe! I should have bought tickets the second they came out . And Ive made glaze before. They baked in about 20 minutes in dark nonstick pans at 350. Good luck on the tour! 20% reduction shouldnt destroy a cake. My new favorite cake :). I am definitely making this one tomorrow! Love! There was a little dip in the middle, but no serious sinking, so that was a success, too! With coffee, Id probably be in heaven. Mine did also collapse in the middle, like some others commented, but I thought it still turned out so good. I hardly use any other oil these days, except when I make Asian style food I use sesame oil. Im still nursing my six-week-old who has possible food allergies so Im currently off both dairy and eggs. Super simple but great recipe! My mom made Wacky Cake a million times and never had that sinking issue. :-). Let it cool in the pan, then removed it from the pan and put it on a cooling rack. What would you suggest instead to get that shine? The chocolate glaze in the Moosewood recipe, when cool, is more like a ganache which is soft. Your signing is at Manuels Tavern, an old Atlanta institution for journalists and politicians (Jimmy Carter announced his first run for GA governor there in 1970, for example). Baked 45 min in an8pan plus a small extra mini loaf. (I used a 4 cup liquid measuring cup and measured the water and oil in it, then added the I made Anna Del Contis olive oil and apple cake once and loved it. Waiting anxiously, My coworker made this cake and sent me the recipe. PS. In my case, I ended up adding some heavy cream to the glaze (in addition to the olive oil and corn syrup) as I wanted more of a pourable and softer ganache, and that worked well, made in a double boiler. Very excited to try can I put the glaze on a few days before serving, or is it best right before? I reduced the water to 1 cup and the baking soda to 1 tsp, as others suggested, and baked it a few minutes more than the 35 minutes listed in the recipe. Any idea what could have gone wrong? Not sure if that is the baking soda coming through or using extra virgin olive oil. My cake was about to overflow at the 15 minute mark, but (thanks to the comments again) I had placed it on a lined sheet pan and I was watching it carefully. I used plain Pompeian EVOO because that was what I had on hand. Half coffee/half water and red wine vinegar rather than white vinegar. Thank you. Cheated and deflated. Once it was totally cooled, and I attempted to move to a plate, the whole cake fell apart. You are coming to Atlanta Im so excited! Cocoa powder shouldnt have any ingredients other than cocoa there wont be any problem about dairy or nuts. I weighed the ingredients, only used 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and put a pan underneath. Rich, intensely chocolatey with a light crumb. Im off dairy as well so this is perfect timing. I need a little help trouble shooting this recipe.it is delicious, but turned out a bit stodgy and gummy I used GF flour 1:1, but then followed the recipe to a T. I did have similar problems to some others with the overflowing and am wondering about just splitting the batter between 2 9 cake pans? However, I will be serving this to company at some point. Will make again and again. You could (Id only do a partial swap) however the coolest thing about this cake is how dark my cocoa came out (its the baking soda and vinegar), it *looked* like Id used black cocoa.
