Chocolate Cake with Myrtle Aroma
The recipe for chocolate cake with myrtle aroma, an alternative dessert with all the aromas of the shrub that grows in Sardinia. An irresistible dessert with a unique flavor enriched by the fragrance of myrtle, with a soft texture and the intense taste of chocolate blending harmoniously with the fragrant notes of myrtle, offering an unforgettable taste experience. The myrtle liqueur, typical of Sardinia, gives the cake a unique and enveloping flavor. For those unfamiliar with myrtle, it is a shrub found throughout the island, and its liqueur is a symbol of Sardinian tradition. Its slightly bitter and aromatic taste perfectly matches the sweetness of chocolate, creating a balanced flavor. The combination of these two main ingredients is enriched by other components that make the cake even more delicious. From the presence of seed oil instead of butter, which gives a soft texture, to ingredients like eggs and sugar that provide sweetness and texture, and finally the chocolate chips, all elements blend to create a perfect cake.
