vegan blood orange chocolate olive oil cake

There’s only one thing I love more than blood orange season and that just happens to be baking with olive oil! I figured what could be better than combining the two into the ultimate vegan chocolate cake with a citrus twist. This Vegan Blood Orange Chocolate Olive Oil Cake should officially be on your baking “to-do” list before citrus season ends!
