Olive Oil Cakelets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 6 cups in a muffin pan with paper baking cups or use freestanding baking cups.
• In a small bowl, whisk together first 5 ingredients. In a measuring cup, whisk together oil, milk, egg, zest, juice and almond extract. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until combined. Divide batter evenly between cups. Top evenly with almonds; dust lightly with sugar. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. Serve warm or room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring tea or other liquid to a simmer, then turn off heat. Whisk in cocoa, cinnamon and salt until smooth, then set aside to cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar, olive oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat for about 3 minutes. Reduce speed and pour in cocoa mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Gradually beat in flour and baking soda until just incorporated.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake until the sides are set but it's still slightly damp in the center, 35 to 45 minutes. A cake tester should come up clean but with a few sticky chocolate crumbs clinging to it. Transfer cake pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely in pan.
