Bacon-Topped Loaf Cakes

This Chocolate Olive Oil Cake has Cream Cheese Icing and Candied Pork

— May 5, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you don't have a huge sweet tooth but still enjoy dessert every once in a while, you will likely love this chocolate olive oil cake. Topped with candied bacon and sprinkles, the loaf cake recipe is from food blogger Molly Yey of My Name is Yeh. Described as "super earthy and dark and moist," the two-layer treat makes a great birthday cake for bacon lovers too.

To bake your own chocolate olive oil cake at home, you will need yummy ingredients such as unsweetened cocoa powder, almond extract, orange juice and olive oil (of course). The candied bacon is made from strips of lamb bacon with brown sugar. It's also topped with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting.
