The recipe for chocolate cake with myrtle aroma, an alternative dessert infused with the flavors of the shrub that grows in Sardinia. An irresistible dessert with a unique flavor enriched by the fragrance of myrtle, where a soft consistency and the intense taste of chocolate harmoniously blend with the fragrant notes of myrtle, providing an unforgettable tasting experience. The myrtle liqueur, typical of Sardinia, gives the cake a unique and enveloping flavor. For those who are unfamiliar with myrtle, it is a shrub found throughout the island, and its liqueur is a symbol of the Sardinian tradition. Its slightly bitter and aromatic taste perfectly complements the sweetness of chocolate, creating a balanced flavor. The combination of these two main ingredients is enriched with other components that make the cake even more delicious. From the use of seed oil instead of butter, which provides a soft consistency, to ingredients like eggs and sugar that add sweetness and texture, and finally the chocolate chips, all these elements fuse to create a perfect cake.
Preheat the oven to 180°c and line a baking pan with parchment paper, approximately 18-22 cm in diameter. Set it aside, greased and floured.
Pour the eggs and sugar into a large bowl, beat the ingredients with electric whisks for a few minutes until you obtain a tall and frothy mixture.
Next, add the seed oil and the myrtle liqueur, mix with the whisks again for a moment at medium speed.
Add the flour, unsweetened cocoa, and baking powder, continue mixing at low speed until you achieve a smooth and thick mixture.
Finally, incorporate the dark chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the baking pan and bake the chocolate cake at 180°C for about 45 minutes.
At the end, perform the toothpick test to check if the cooking is optimal; no batter should stick to the toothpick.
