Appetizing chocolate layered cake slice with fork on plate, perfect for dessert lovers.

Method

  1. Start by prepping your all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the olive oil cake, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with chili crisp right before serving.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
