I make no claim that this recipe is traditional, but it is delightful in every way—crackly on top, fudgy in the center, with a rich chocolate flavor and hints of cardamom. I like to use olive oil so the cake is even more tender and because it gives a deeper, more nuanced flavor. Serve with a few spoons of Berry Compote or simply dust with a little powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
