Apple & Honey Cake

Cooking time: 120’, Servings: 10, Difficulty Level: 3

Ingredients

For the cake

  • 3 large eggs
  • All-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup Attiki Honey
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon clove powder
  • 4 apples, peeled and grated (add lemon to prevent turning brown)

For the glaze

  • 1 cup & 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Attiki honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 oranges, zest

Execution

  • Preheat the oven to 180o
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they become a fluid mixture.
  • Add the honey, white sugar, brown sugar, oil and vanilla.
  • In another medium-sized bowl, add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and spice mix.
  • Pour the solid flour mixture into the liquid mixture and stir until it becomes homogeneous. Add the grated apples.
  • Spray the cake pan with a cooking spray, making sure it goes evenly over the entire surface.
  • Pour the mixture into the cake tin, making sure the mixture covers ¾ of the tin, so that it doesn’t spill out of the baking tin edges.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 75 to 90 minutes. Once the cake edges start turning brown and its top surface gets darker, insert a toothpick into the cake to check if it is ready. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done and you can take it out of the oven.
  • Leave the cake out of the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the baking tin and let the cake cool. Decorate the cake the day you want to serve it.
  • Sprinkle the cake evenly with 3 tablespoons of caster sugar.

For the glaze

Add all the glaze ingredients into a small bowl. Mix very well until the mixture thickens and becomes uniform. If you want a thicker glaze, add more caster sugar.

Pour the glaze over your cake and let it run down the sides. Let it cool for 30-60 minutes and serve. Sprinkle with orange zest.
