chocolate olive oil cake, fresh whip, last of season passion fruit
i love this dessert. if i could only eat one dessert for a while this would be it.
Cooking truly is a love language, and I had the joy of expressing it by making dinner for my dear friend's son on his 5th birthday—complete with this amazing cake!
With passion fruit season coming to an end, I knew I had to savor the last of this vibrant fruit. It was the perfect opportunity to try a chocolate olive oil cake recipe I’d been eyeing for a while (I usually stick to the classic version adding citrus, it is on my substack). The rich, earthy flavor of the olive oil really shines in this cake, which is delightfully moist with subtle hints of coffee.
To take it over the top, I paired it with fresh whipped cream and the tart-sweet magic of passion fruit. The combination is nothing short of remarkable.
YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS. I couldn’t resist having two slices—and I’ve been dreaming about it ever since!
