1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
4
Add Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time to the mascarpone mixture, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

5
Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

6
Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

8
Serve and Enjoy
Once cooled, slice the flourless chocolate cake and serve as is or with additional mascarpone on the side. Enjoy!
