I made this cake over the weekend and it is delicious. Moist cake perfect with coffee, and so easy to do. It reminded me of a cake this family made in Bologna where I stayed many years ago. Make sure your olive oil is light and not heavy in flavor. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and prepare a 9 x 13 pan by spraying with pam or buttering or using olive oil to grease it.
Here is the recipe.
Cut and slice 3 to 4 apples.. ( any kind you have)
1/2 cup to 1 cup of chopped walnuts
1/2 cup to 1 cup of chopped walnuts
Now in one bowl...
3 eggs
3/4 cup of LIGHT olive oil
1 1/2 of sugar
2 cup flour
pinch of salt
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. vanilla extract
In a large bowl....
Beat the eggs with a fork and add the oil and then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Add the apples and walnuts and mix in till coated.
Pour batter into a well sprayed or buttered or oiled 9x13 baking pan and bake at 325 for 1 hour.
You will love this cake. Super easy and gets better as it sits!
YUM. I like it because it doesn't have too many spices in it. Looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI tried this with fresh cherries and ground almonds instead of apples. It was good but the cherries were not as flavorful as the apples.
ReplyDeleteI have also cut down the sugar and the oil and substituted wheat flour for half of the flour and it didn't change the flavor at all.
