Olive oil is a great alternative to butter. It makes such a delicious and moist cake. This recipe is vegan and could be gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. Olive oil cake is by far one of my favorite desserts and a great way to end a dinner party. Enjoy!

Recipe:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (substitute 1:1 gluten-free flour optional)
• 2 cups white granulated sugar
• 6 tbs cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
