  • For this recipe for chocolate, pistachio and olive oil cupcakes, you will need:
For the chocolate cakes:
  • 200g dark chocolate
  • 90g of mild-flavoured olive oil
  • 6 eggs
  • 150g of sugar
  • 1 sachet of vanilla sugar

Tip

Subtle-flavoured olive oils (PDO Nyons, PDO Nice, …) are perfect for making the chocolate and pistachio cupcake recipe. Cupcakes can be made in a whole range of different flavours… Why not try the chocolate and raspberry, chocolate and passion fruit, and chocolate and orange versions?

Instructions

Prepare the chocolate cakes:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Remove from the heat and add the olive oil. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 whole eggs, 3 egg yolks (set the whites aside), the sugar and the vanilla sugar. Add the flour, stirring regularly.
  • Pour in the chocolate and olive oil mixture very slowly whilst stirring.
  • Whisk the 3 egg whites until stiff. Gently fold them into the mixture.
  • Grease and dust individual ramekins with flour. Bake straight away for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the oven). Then leave to cool completely.
Prepare the pistachio icing:
  • Whisk 110g of softened butter and 220g of icing sugar until the mixture is creamy and quite white (allow about ten minutes in a food processor).
  • Add 1 teaspoon of full-flavoured olive oil and stir.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of pistachio paste and mix thoroughly.
  • Fill a piping bag with this icing and decorate the cupcakes.
