Apple Cinnamon Cake

Course Dessert, Snack

Ingredients

  • 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 80 ml pure maple syrup (or half maple syrup, half honey if preferred)
  • 3 eggs lightly whisked
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 g almond meal
  • 70 g oat flour (finely ground oats)
  • 50 g gluten free plain flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 500-550 g finely diced apples (note: I prefer to use them grated as I feel the cake holds together better this way)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C fan-forced. Grease and line a regular loaf tin with baking paper.
  • Combine the oil, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with a fork until the eggs are incorporated.
  • Sift in the almond meal, oat flour, GF flour, baking powder and cinnamon, and fold through the mixture until combined.
  • Add in the apples and stir until they are coated with batter.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth flat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for around 1 hour, or until cooked through and golden on top.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, before turning on to a cooling rack. My family enjoys this cake best whilst warm, but it is delicious served either way.
