Orange and black (olive) chocolate cake
Cakes
With its hidden flecks of orange and black olive, this rich chocolate cake is a crowd-pleasing treat which satisfies with an almost brownie-like crumb. A cinch to whip up, the dessert is a nod to those olives-on-fingertips days of youth, delivering simplicity and sweetness in one scrumptious form — all ages welcome, no olives evident in the taste. <br />It came to me when eating a black olive; I thought: "Mild, moist and a little bit salty? Those are a few perfect attributes for a cake ingredient!" I decided on a black-on-black batter: dark cocoa and black coffee to mingle with the tiny bits of olives. A heap of orange zest would add a citrusy tang, and a good dose of vanilla would soften it all. The result was just as I’d hoped: a spongy, moist and deep-dark dessert enjoyed by many. <br />Decorating the cake with a stencil of contrasting white powdered sugar leaves the possibilities endless for themes. A witch or jack-o-lantern stencil will turn the orange and black ingredients into a festive Halloween cake. <br />This recipe first appeared on my web site, buttersugarflowers.com
