Ingredients
  

For The Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Cake:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 1 tablespoon amaretto
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate finely chopped (milk, semi-sweet, or dark, as desired)

For The Amaretto Strawberries:

  • 2 pints strawberries sliced
  • 3 tablespoons amaretto
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

To Serve:

  • Whipped cream
  • Shaved chocolate (milk, semi-sweet, or dark, as desired)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 9x5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. 
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar and eggs until pale yellow and thick, about 3 minutes. Add olive oil, vanilla, milk, lemon zest, and amaretto.
  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
  • Divide batter evenly between both pans and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on rack for 20 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely. 
  • To make the strawberries, combine berries with amaretto, lemon juice, and sugar. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. 
  • Serve cake with the berries and whipped cream. Garnish with shaved chocolate.
