Delicious, Moist, and Tender Chocolate Cake
This is a very easy and delicious cake that is guaranteed to solve your chocolate craving. The espresso really helps bring out the chocolate, and I really like the flavour the olive oil lends to the cake too. This has become my favorite chocolate cake recipe.
