Indulge in a rich chocolate layer cake topped with berries and cream. Perfect for dessert lovers.

Method

  1. Start by prepping your all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the leeks and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the olive oil cake and let it crispy, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
  4. Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
