    Almond Flour Chocolate Cake with Olive Oil

    By Alanna Taylor-Tobin on Oct 27, 2020 (updated May 3, 2024) / 43 Comments Jump to Recipe

    Dense, tender, and sophisticated, this gluten-free almond flour chocolate cake gets a flavor boost from fruity olive oil. Made with just 8 ingredients and 20 minutes of active time, this cake looks like it came from a fancy patisserie, but it's actually quite simple to make at home.

    Top slices with a swoop of whipped coconut cream, whipped mascarpone or whipped crème fraiche and seasonal fruit, or enjoy plain with a cup of coffee.

    Naturally dairy-free, with gluten-free and paleo options. This recipe is part of my gluten-free chocolate recipes collection where chocophiles can find 30+ more recipes to satisfy their bittersweet tooth.

    Almond flour gives this cake a moist and tender crumb while olive oil adds rich, fruity notes in this not-too-sweet chocolate torte.

    You need look no further for a perfectly rich and decadent almond flour chocolate cake recipe. This beauty hails from Alice Medrich's cookbook Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts. Medrich has a well-deserved reputation for being an awesome baker with solid recipes who isn't afraid to try new techniques. She is a culinary pioneer from whom I find continual inspiration.

    Similar in texture to a flourless chocolate cake but with a bit of nubby texture from almond flour, this almond flour chocolate cake will satisfy the most voracious of chocoholics.

    Here's what one happy baker had to say about it:

    5-Star Reader Review

    “Each recipe of yours that I make turns out to be my new favorite. This one is no exception. I was inspired to make this recipe to celebrate Valentine's Day with my bestie. It turned out both beautiful and delicious, with no high altitude adjustments necessary. Thanks again for helping me celebrate my most treasured friendship in the most perfect way... With chocolate!”

    Chocolate Cake with... Olive Oil?!

    The ingredient that sets this almond flour chocolate cake apart from other cake recipes is the good pour of olive oil that stands in where butter would usually be. Think of this as the chocolatey cousin to this community-favorite lemon almond olive oil cake.

    Here the fruity notes from the olive oil complement rich chocolate and nutty almond flour. The olive oil also makes the cake naturally dairy-free (more on this below), though you could swap in any oil you like.

    Ingredients & Substitution Suggestions

    This cake comes together with 8 simple ingredients.

    • Chocolate is the star of this show, so be sure to use one that you like the taste of. Guittard bittersweet is my go-to; Valrhona is another well-loved brand. For a paleo-friendly version, choose a chocolate free of refined sugar such as Hu, Raaka, or Guittard.
    • Eggs create fluffy texture similar to a flourless chocolate cake, and they give the cake structure. I wouldn't recommend trying to substitute them. But if you're looking for a GF vegan chocolate cake recipe, try this one!
    • Almond flour or almond meal give the cake substance. You can make your own almond flour by grinding whole, slivered, or sliced almonds with the rice flour until fine and powdery. You can also use hazelnut flour, or any other nut (or try this chocolate hazelnut cake recipe). You could also try using ground seeds such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option.
    • Olive oil stands in for the usual melted butter. Choose a bold, fruity olive oil that you love the flavor of. Or use any other cooking oil you prefer. A nut oil such as hazelnut or walnut would be lovely too.
    • A small amount of flour absorbs moisture. Pretty much any flour will do. I used sweet rice to make this, but any all-purpose blend should work. For paleo-friendly, use cassava flour.
    • Salt and vanilla sharpen the flavors. Cocoa powder makes an optional topping.

    How to make almond flour chocolate cake

    This recipe makes one 8-inch single-layer cake, for 10-12 small but rich servings. It takes about 20 minutes of active time to assemble the batter, plus some baking and cooling time. It keeps beautifully and can be made up to 3 days ahead.

    What to Serve with this Cake

    This rich cake needs no accompaniment, but if you want to gild the lily, here are a few favorite serving options:

    • Dollop with whipped creme fraiche or mascarpone whipped cream, or use whipped coconut cream for dairy-free.
    • Decorate the cake with ganache such as dairy-free ganache or creme fraiche ganache.
    • Serve slices warm with ice cream such as vanilla bean ice cream or creme fraiche ice cream.
    • Drizzle the cake with warm chocolate tahini sauce.
    • Swirl the cake with frosting such as peanut butter frosting.
    • Top it with fresh berries such as raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
    • Serve it with coffee, good whiskey, or red wine.

    Is this a Cake or a Torte?

    The terms torte and cake can both be used to describe this dessert. In the US, we use the word "cake" to describe both light, fluffy confections like angel food and chiffon, and short, dense numbers like this chocolate almond cake. The word "torte" hails from Europe where it's used more often to describe a rich cake made with a high ratio of eggs, and sometimes ground nuts.

    So call this what you like – chocolate almond torte or almond flour chocolate cake. You'll definitely call it delicious.

    Almond Flour Chocolate Cake for Everyone

    This cake is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, and it can be made paleo-friendly as well.

    The original recipe for this almond flour chocolate cake contained a small amount of wheat flour. This is easily replaced with sweet rice flour (or probably really any flour you like!) One reader recently commented that she made the cake paleo-friendly by using grain-free cassava flour, and coconut sugar in place of regular. Brilliant!

    This cake turns out moist, tender and rich, but not so densely truffle-like as a flourless chocolate cake. The ground almonds add body, and its judicious sweetness is balanced by deep chocolate and fragrant olive oil.

    I hope you love it as much as I do!

    Almond Flour Chocolate Cake with Olive Oil

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    This rich & tender almond flour chocolate cake looks fancy, but it's simple to make at home with 8 ingredients & 20 minutes active time. GF & DF!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 20 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 40 minutes minutes
    Total: 1 hour hour
    Servings: 12 small but rich servings (makes one 8- or 9-inch cake)

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup (55 g) almond flour or meal (or whole almonds ground with the rice flour until powder-fine)
    • 2 tablespoons (20 g) sweet rice flour or GF AP flour (use cassava flour for a paleo option)
    • 6 ounces (170 g) bittersweet chocolate with 65-72% cacao mass, roughly chopped
    • ½ cup (120 ml) flavorful olive oil, plus extra for serving
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
    • ¾ cup (150 g) sugar, divided use (use coconut or maple sugar for paleo version)
    • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    Prepare Things

    • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Rub an 8- or 9-inch round springform pan with a bit of olive oil.

    Make the Batter

    • Place the chocolate, oil and salt in a large, metal bowl. Place the bowl in a skillet filled with 2 inches of barely simmering water, and stir frequently until the chocolate is melted.
    • Remove the bowl from the skillet and whisk in ½ cup of the sugar, then whisk in the egg yolks.
    • Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until foamy, then gradually pour in the remaining ¼ cup of sugar, whipping the whites until they hold soft peaks (i.e., when you pull the whisk out and hold it upside down, the peaks of white flop over).
    • Without delay, use a flexible spatula to stir one-third of the whipped whites into the chocolate mixture.
    • Add the remaining whipped egg whites to the bowl, sift in the almond and sweet rice flours, and gently fold until the batter is just combined and no streaks remain.

    Bake

    • Immediately scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, 30-40 minutes.
    • Let the cake cool completely, then remove the sides of the pan. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving if you wish, then use a large chef's knife wiped clean after each cut to slice the cake.
    • If you like, serve the cake with a dollop of cream, a drizzle of olive oil, a few flecks of flakey salt, and/or seasonal fruit or berries.

    Store

    • The cake will keep, covered at room temperature, for up to three days. Refrigerate or freeze for longer storage.

    Notes

    Adapted from Alice Medrich's Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts.
    • This cake makes a great do-ahead dessert as it is even better on the second or third day, when the flavors have had a chance to develop.
    • To keep the batter happy, warm your eggs to room temperature before making the cake; this will keep the batter fluid and easy to fold. You can do this quickly by placing the whole eggs in a bowl of warm tap water and letting them sit for 5-10 minutes.
    • If gluten isn't an issue, feel free to use all-purpose wheat flour in place of the rice flour; or you could probably use a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
    • Do use good chocolate and olive oil that you like the taste of. I don't recommend making this with chocolate chips.
    Nutritional values are based on one of twelve servings.

      Sorry you got hit by "one of THOSE" vegans :(. They certainly give us a bad name. I can't stand them either...the food elitist bike riding greener than green (when it suits them...) "vegans" who are only in it so that they can stand head and shoulders above everyone else and look down from their lofty tower in scorn at ANYONE who deviates from their superior pathway in any way at all. As a vegan I appologise for this obviously moronic vegan's complaint...didn't know that eggs weren't dairy? MORON! ;). This cake is amazing. My husband is omni and will be enjoying every single slice with double cream. I will attempt to veganise this most promising recipe so that I can join him in "OOO...AAHHH!" ing, but if I can't...so be it. Some things are meant to be made a certain way and you can't have everything :). Cheers for this wonderful blog and for sharing your spectacular recipes so freely with us all (even the ungrateful vegans that slither amongst us ;) )

      Hands down this is the most delicious recipe I've taken a gander at all day! I love baking with almond flour and rice flour (I have about 2 pounds of each in my pantry right now) and chocolate is my ultimate weakness! I've only tried olive oil cake twice but both times I was in heavenly bliss. Love the recipe, definitely going to bake it!

      This looks scrumptious! I hope I'm not too late to ask this ... When you're melting the chocolate, do you plop the metal bowl down into the hot water in the skillet? Most recipes tell you to keep the bowl *above* the simmering water, definitely not touching it, so I am wondering about this. Thanks! -mk

        November 01, 2013 at 7:37 pm

        Thanks for the great question! The bowl in, not over, the skillet of water is an Alice Medrich innovation, and it has several advantages. You can see whether the water is simmering or just hot, since it's not hidden under the bowl, and you don't risk getting a steam burn when you lift the bowl off the pot, since there's no steamy water trapped underneath it. As long as the water isn't boiling, you won't risk harming the chocolate. That being said, you can of course use your preferred method for melting the chocolate and butter. Please come back and let me know how the cake turns out! Happy baking. :)

        Hi Nuriya! Hm this is a tricky one to substitute, but I would try using aquafaba in place of the egg whites. You can whip those up with sugar. I've never tried this myself so maybe experiment with a half batch? I'm not sure what to use for the egg yolks... maybe more oil? Or something like pumpkin puree, apple sauce, or mashed banana? Please let me know what you play with!

        I have some olive oil from a while ago, so I'm not sure if it's still good, but I do have some new avocado oil.. would that work instead?

          Hi Joanne, I would taste the olive oil and if it's off or tastes rancid, definitely get rid of it! Avocado oil should work fine here. It has a slightly assertive flavor but the chocolate is so strong, I don't think it will be noticeable. Please let me know if you try it!

When we were already up to our elbows in chocolate, I realized that we were at high altitude. It wasn't quite sure what to do since you always have to make adjustments for baking in this environment. But since the batter was so tasty, I figured however it would turn out, it would be yummy. Needless to say, we made no adjustments and it turned out both beautiful and delicious, with no high altitude adjustments necessary. Thanks again for helping me celebrate my most treasured friendship in the most perfect way... With chocolate!

      This cake is so good! I just got done making it for the second time, and it was such a joy to make it - and as I wait (im)patiently for it to cool, I can tell it's gonna be even better than last time.

      One question I had is that, both times I made it, as the cake cools, the top seems to sink in a little bit, leaving it a little wrinkly and just a tiny little bit concave.

      Do you know why this might be happening?

      Hi, I tried to make this today, and it was a complete fail. After I added the eggs (warmed for 5 minutes in warm water before separating), it seized, so as you suggested, I put it back over the hot water, on low heat, and it went from grainy to completely separated, into oil and sludgy batter, which would not rejoin. Yuck. What did I do wrong? Was there any way to fix that once I got there? I had to throw it away and make a different cake. Very sad, and has never happened to me before in 30 years of baking…???

        Hi Linda,

        I'm so sorry to hear this! I know how frustrating it is to try a recipe with expensive ingredients and have it not turn out. BOO. It sounds like you did everything just right, so I'm mystified as well.

        I've made this recipe several times and sometimes it seizes and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't figured out why that is yet! One time I tried adding water a tablespoon at a time to get the mixture back into emulsion, but when I baked it, it was more mousse than cake. It was edible but I didn't feel that that was a good solution so I didn't share it here. The cake in these photos actually seized a little, but I went ahead with the recipe and it turned out ok.

        Curious what kind of chocolate (brand and percentage) you used? I'm thinking that closer to 65% might make the batter more durable and less likely to seize. Also which ingredients did you use (since I gave options for dietary preferences)?

        Thanks for your note and for helping me make this recipe more solid for other readers!

      Hey Alanna. This looks so good. For health reasons I'm currently trying to avoid sugar. Do you think I could swap out stevia or does the sugar have a chemical purpose other than just adding sweetness?

        Hi Jackie, great question! The sugar here acts as a liquid ingredient when it dissolves in the batter. If you can tolerate it, there are some 1 to 1 sugar substitutes that would probably work. Some contain monk fruit, others stevia, and some use erythritol or other sugar alcohols that don't get digested in the same way that sugar does. Those would be the safest bets to use rather than try to sub in another liquid ingredient. However, I'm not sure how those will work for whipping the eggs whites, so if you wanted to stick with the small-ish amount of sugar for those, that would be a safe bet.

        Please let me know what you try!

      Instead of 2 T of rice flour, can I add an additional 2 T of almond flour?

        That will probably work fine - please let me know if you try it!

I make this with @bobsredmill almond, cassava, and tapioca flours, @miyokoscreamery dairy-free butter, @foragerproject cashew yogurt, topped with @greengirlbakeshop coconut milk ice cream. 

It’s paleo-friendly and dairy-free too. Because everybody deserves to eat good food!

    This favorite springtime recipe made the cover of This favorite springtime recipe made the cover of my cookbook Alternative Baker so it has a special place in my heart … and stomach because I ate so much of it! 

It starts with a flaky gluten-free crust made with sweet rice, oat, and millet flours filled with loads of fresh strawberries and rhubarb. 

The cut-out top crust is fun to make and prettier than a traditional lattice IMHO. 

I just shared the recipe on TBG. Comment “recipe please” and I’ll send it to you. 

Bojon appétit my sweets! 👩🏻‍🍳

    Just popped the recipe for these GF rhubarb streus Just popped the recipe for these GF rhubarb streusel muffins on TBG. Comment "recipe please" and I'll DM it to you! 

This one's dedicated to my amazing husband Jay, a.k.a. chief bottle-washer at TBG and best cat dad ever. 😻

Jay did not have a sweet tooth when we first started dating and he also didn't want any cats. Fast-forward a couple of decades and he hoards rhubarb muffins and falls asleep with two fuzzy fourteen-pounders purring on his lap each night. 

It's no wonder he didn't want to let these muffins go. They're moist and tender, loaded with jammy rhubarb, and topped with spice-kissed brown sugar streusel. A blend of almond, oat (or sorghum), and sweet rice flours makes them tender and sneakily gluten-free. 

As for why Zeppo and Hank choose him instead of the die-hard cat lady with the soft lap – that's one of life's great mysteries. 

Bojon appétit, my sweets!

    I’m always on the hunt for bold, creamy plant-ba I’m always on the hunt for bold, creamy plant-based cheeses so I did a happy dance when I spotted @miyokoscreamery Jalapeño Plant Milk Cheese Spread at my local Nugget Market! #ad 

It’s the perfect match for these extra-crunchy cassava flour crackers—naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and full of toasty seeds. The combo? Snacking magic.

I’m seriously impressed with the flavor and texture of this spread—spicy, creamy, and totally scoopable. Highly recommend picking some up at Nugget Market and giving this duo a try!

    Sunday forecast: 100% chance of pancakes! 🥞☀️

These buckwheat pancakes are everything I want on a slow morning: tender, floofy, and full of deep, toasty flavor from dark buckwheat flour (I love using @arrowheadmills which is certified #glutenfree).

They're easy to whip up with a few pantry staples:
🌾 dark buckwheat flour
🍚 sweet rice flour
🥄 baking powder & baking soda
🧂 salt
🥚 egg
🥛 Greek yogurt + milk (or plant milk)
🍁 maple syrup
🧈 butter

Crisp edges, moist middles, serious cozy vibes.

    I just scored a bunch of rhubarb from my mother-in I just scored a bunch of rhubarb from my mother-in-law's garden, so I knew it was time to share this gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp!

The sturdy crumble topping uses a unique mixing method: a beaten egg gets rubbed with the dry ingredients, sprinkled over the fruit, and drizzled with a stick of melted butter. Made gluten-free with sweet rice and oat flours, the texture ends up similar to a crisp-chewy oatmeal cookie.

The crunchy topping soaks up the juices from crimson strawberry rhubarb compote and the whole thing tastes like spring in a bowl. Sweet-tart deliciousness.

Bojon appétit, my sweets!
