Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 3 ½ ounces 70% dark chocolate, chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 cup chopped almonds

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.

  2. Place chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until pale. Stir in melted chocolate and olive oil with a spatula until well combined. Combine almonds, flour, and cinnamon in a second bowl and add to chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared baking pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
