Ingredients

100ml Filippo Berio Mild & Light in Colour Olive Oil
150g Dark Chocolate
150g Plain Flour
2 Large Eggs
120g Caster Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Milk (of your choice)
100g Milk Chocolate
40g Pecans

Method

Pre-heat the oven up to 180°C fan/190°C conventional
Put your saucepan on your scales and weigh out the olive oil and break in the dark chocolate
Warm the olive oil and chocolate over a low heat, stirring with the wooden spoon
Remove from the heat when the chocolate is almost completely melted: it will continue to melt completely and then leave it to cool
Chop up the milk chocolate and pecans into large chunks and leave for later
Prep your baking tin by lining with baking paper or parchment and lightly oil the paper
Weigh out the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, egg and milk into a large bowl and mix together until fully incorporated
Pour in the chocolate and oil mixture and stir well
Add the chopped milk chocolate and pecans and swirl through the mixture, then pour into the prepared tin
Cook on the middle shelf for 23-25 minutes
Once cooked, leave to cool almost fully in the tin, then lift out and cut into nine large squares (or smaller pieces if you prefer)
Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream or mascarpone and strawberries, or leave to cool and enjoy as a tea time treat
