In the north of Italy, there's no dessert combination quite as iconic as chocolate and hazelnut. With some of the best chocolatiers in the world and the incredibly flavorful I.G.P. Piedmont Hazelnut, it's no wonder that these two flavors came together in this part of the world.

This cake is a testament to that delicious marriage - not overly sweet, and with a perfectly moist crumb from a combination of hazelnut oil and olive oil, it's a delicious snacking cake for any time of the day. Pair it with some espresso for an all-around amazing combination of flavors.

1 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the inside of a 9-inch springform pan lightly with olive oil and line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in the olive oil, hazelnut oil, milk and eggs and whisk until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with the chocolate chips. Bake until puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Serve with a dollop of soft whipped cream.
