Instructions
- Put the dark chocolate in a bowl, then place it on top of a saucepan with simmering hot water.
- Once the chocolate has melted, set the bowl aside to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by lining it with parchment paper, greasing it with butter, and dusting it with flour.
- Strain and mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Use a separate and larger mixing bowl to combine one egg, one yolk, and sugar.
- Mix until creamy, then add the yogurt and olive oil and continue mixing.
- Pour the cooled melted chocolate and almond extract, then mix.
- Add almond flour and the strained dry ingredients from earlier, and mix just enough to combine.
- Pour your chocolate cake batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Use an angled spatula to even the top of the cake, and tap the pan on the counter to remove bubbles.
- Place your cake pan in the middle of the oven for thirty to thirty-five minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for at least fifteen minutes.
- Transfer your chocolate cake into a serving plate --- and enjoy!
