snap - https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/chocolate-olive-oil-cake-wheat-free-dairy-free.3250/ (or http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chocolate_olive_oil_cake_44817) It is a Nigella Lawson recipe the one I posted here back in err... well way too long ago! It is exceptionally nice and very moist and we make it quite a bit.

I am intrigued with the use of cinnamon in yours though.

It predates Nigella's recipe, which was a copy of a Jamie Oliver one.

ooo...I just noticed the diary free tag. While I don't have any restrictions, my brother does, so maybe I can make this for him. Thanks for posting!

These sort, diet restrictions, I'll search out. See the links by @SatNavSaysStraightOn as well. There's another on here.

I can recommend the one I make (sorry @classic33 but I haven't made this one). It is both dairy free and wheat free (actually it should be down as gluten free if the bicarb of soda is gluten free). It is amazingly moist and truly delicious. We now make it as a birthday cake all the time.

Only mentioned yours as another to consider.
