ricetta_inverno

Recipe for 8 People, Dairy-Free
Time: 20min + 45min baking
Difficulty: easy

Ingredients:

  • 120g all-purpose flour
  • 40g cornstarch
  • 2 Bargiolina apples
  • 2 oranges
  • 100g dark chocolate
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • 120g cane sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 60ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 packet of baking powder

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set the mixture aside. Extract 200 ml of orange juice from the oranges and grate the zest of at least one orange.
Cut the chocolate into pieces and melt it using a double boiler. Remove it from the heat and mix it first with the olive oil and then with the orange juice. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until you obtain a foamy mixture. Quickly incorporate the melted chocolate mixture and then the grated zest. Then, gradually add the flour mixture.

Cut the apples into fairly small cubes and add most of them to the batter. Spread the batter in a cake pan with high sides, approximately 22 cm in diameter, lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the remaining apple cubes on top, pressing them lightly.

Bake the cake at 160-170 °C for 40-45 minutes, checking the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center, which should come out clean. Allow it to cool before removing it from the pan.
