Chocolate olive oil cake with pistachio crunch

<br />One thing that has always stuck out at me with olive oil cakes is the comparisons to a pudding. It brought to mind my family’s Passover seder this year, during which my mother had made a chocolate pudding with a pistachio crumble. It was a delicious combination, and the idea of marrying that chocolatey/nutty/salty profile with the olive oil in this cake seemed too obvious to not try out. A thin layer of chocolate frosting works as the glue for the crunchy topping.
