Zutaten:

2 large Gala apples, (peeled and finely chopped)
Orange juice, (as needed to coat the apples)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
2/3 cup golden raisins, (soaked in warm water for 15 minutes and drained well)
Confectioners' sugar, (for dusting)

Arbeitsschritte:

Preheat. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Prepare the apples. Place the chopped apples in a bowl. Add just enough orange juice to toss and coat the apples, which will prevent them from browning. Set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Mix the olive oil and sugar. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the sugar and extra virgin olive oil. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes, until well combined.
Add the eggs. With the mixer running, add the eggs one at a time. Continue mixing for another 2 minutes, until the mixture increases in volume. It should be thicker but still runny.
Make the batter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir just until combined. The batter will be very thick; do not add anything to loosen it.
Add the fruit. Drain the raisins thoroughly and remove any excess orange juice from the apples. Add the apples and raisins to the batter. Stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined.
Fill the pan. Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Spoon the thick batter into the pan and level the top with the back of your wooden spoon.
Bake. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer it to a serving plate. Dust with confectioners’ sugar. For a sweeter finish, serve with warmed dark honey.
