Everyday Chocolate Cake
What's great about it
This is my favourite healthy chocolate cake recipe! It's as nourishing as it is delicious, packed full of superfoods and antioxidants. Using our premium Naked Chocolat and made entirely in one bowl, it's so quick and easy to make.

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups (300 g) raw unrefined sugar or coconut sugar
2 organic eggs, beaten
1/2 cup (125 ml ) extra virgin olive oil
1 cup (250 ml ) milk, your choice

Notes and Inspiration
I have used my gorgeous home-made 2 ingredient Chcoolate Ganache. Or you can use my lovely Yogurt Frosting from my Garden Zucchini Cake recipe for a lighter option.
