The recipe for chocolate cake with myrtle scent, 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 harmoniously blending with the fragrant notes of myrtle, offering an unforgettable tasting experience. The myrtle liqueur, typical of Sardinia, gives the cake a unique and enveloping flavor. For those who do not know, myrtle 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 tastier. From the presence of seed oil instead of butter, which gives a soft texture, to ingredients like eggs and sugar that provide sweetness and consistency, and finally the chocolate chips, all elements blend to create a perfect cake.
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a cake pan about 18-22 cm in diameter with parchment paper. 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 get a tall and fluffy mixture.
Next, add the seed oil and myrtle liqueur, mix again with the whisks for a few moments at medium speed.
Add the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder, continue mixing at low speed until you get a smooth and thick batter.
Finally, fold in the dark chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake the chocolate cake at 180°C for about 45 minutes.
At the end, perform the toothpick test to check if the baking is optimal; no batter should stick to the toothpick.
