Ingredients

3.5 ounces 70% dark chocolate, chopped
2 eggs eggs
0.5 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped almonds
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7-inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth. This should take about 5 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides to prevent burning. Remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Gently fold in the melted chocolate and olive oil until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almonds, flour, and cinnamon, then add to the chocolate mixture. Stir until just combined, then pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving for the best flavor.
