    Chocolate, olive oil & rosemary cake

    This is one of my all-time favourite cakes, with rosemary and chunks of chocolate – a pairing that I adore. This is a less sweet cake, almost fudgy, with a delicate herbal back-note. It uses olive oil instead of butter – you can use a standard olive oil, it doesn’t need to be extra virgin. It pairs well with rosemary, but I have also made this by nestling a few bay leaves in the top of the batter instead. You could also replace the rosemary with orange zest or the seeds from a vanilla pod.
