After a period of Granola for breakfast I had to move on. It is cake time to go with my first coffee in the morning.
This one is a sweet cake but not too much as it compensates with the olive oil bitterness. It makes you think there is some kind of liquor in it. It is just the olive oil magic…

Ingredients
- 250gr. Plain Flour.
- 3 Eggs.
- 1 Natural Yoghurt (125gr.).
- 220gr. Condensed Milk.
- 100gr. of a good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- 2 Table spoons Cocoa powder.
- 1 Tea spoon Vanilla extract.
- 8gr. Baking Powder.
- A pinch of salt.
Preparation
Pre heat the oven at 175 degrees.
Put the eggs in a bowl and whisk with the hand mixer for 3 minutes.
Add to the bowl the condensed milk, yoghurt, olive oil and vanilla extract. Whisk 2 more minutes.
Add to the bowl the flour(previously mixed with the baking powder and salt) and mix with the hand mixer until becomes smooth.
Now, divide the mix in two and place them in two bowls. Add the cocoa to one of them and mix well.
Alternate one layer of the mix without the cocoa with another with cocoa. Finally make a zigzag with a stick from one side to the other of the baking tin.
Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Let it cool down and enjoy!

Olive oil cake is wonderful in any version.
Completely agree with that. Thanks!
Yikes, this looks delicious, I will make the conversions into cups and give it a try. thanks
This sounds fab and I’d love to try it (any excuse to use condensed milk) – how much natural yoghurt do you use? and when do you add the cocoa powder?!
Sorry. I just realised I didn’t put all the steps for the recipe. It is now updated. 😉
Brilliant, thanks! now I have no excuse not to try it…
Looks like a great cake and I love Depeche Mode!
I’ve been looking for a way to use up some condensed milk–I will have to try this!
A terrific way to start the day.
Great cake, the color of it absolutely beautiful and Depeche Mode my favorite band of all times!
Looks so more ish. And a fab breakfast alternative. What is the yogurt measurement if I wanted to bake this? Just one tablespoon? X
We stay together on the cake. We part company on the music, I am afraid. Lovely picture too.
Best,

This is going to be my breakfast cake very soon. Have missed your cakes.
I love marble cake! I pick up a slice at Starbucks at least once a week…
I love the marble looks… 🙂
I’m always amazed when people use olive oil in cake. Looks scrumptious!

I love your marble cake – it’s beautiful! I have linked to this recipe at http://cakeandcalico.com/linkswelove if you fancy taking a peek.
Wow, this cake looks amazing! I’ve never eaten olive oil cake before, other than using olive oil in a carrot cake… but I keep reading about how beautiful it is (and olive oil ice cream! Yum!). I love the idea of the condensed milk also… you have so many beautiful recipes on your blog, I can’t wait to try some of them 🙂 Following you! x
Well well I could without problems devour a few slices of this cake now!!
This looks delicious! And one of my all time fave DM songs 🙂
This looks great and I’m inspired to give a go. Can i check for the liquid ingredients – all are measured in grams – is it meant to be millimetres or you weigh ash shown? Thanks!
Thanks! All ingredients are measured in grams. Enjoy it!
