Chocolate Olive Oil Cupcakes

Recipe #5 – Spartan Olive Oil Challenge #EVOOChallenge

This is a version of my mother’s favorite chocolate cake recipe.  These can be made quickly with ingredients in your pantry.  The addition of the olive oil makes these gems moist with dense chocolate flavor.  Oh…I might have forgotten to tell you, you mix them in one bowl – how easy is that?   This is the perfect triple chocolate combination, chocolate cake, chocolate chips and chocolate ganache. Just my kind of sweet delight.

    These look delicious. I had a chocolate tart with olive oil pie crust from Graffiato once that was really terrific and this reminds me of them. Can’t wait to try.

    I’ve done olive oil cupcakes before, but not with chocolate. And definitely not with apple cider vinegar! These look divine.
