Apple And Jam Oil Cake Recipes

EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types).
• Grease and line a 21 cm / 9" springform cake pan. (Note 4)
• Place flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Whisk oil and sugar in a bowl, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a wooden spoon until JUST combined. Stir through apple (optional: add 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or other nuts).
• Pour into cake pan. Sprinkle over almonds.
• Bake for 50 minutes - 1 hr. Check at 50 minutes - it is cooked when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar if using, then serve. This cake doesn't need cream or ice cream because it is so moist, but I wouldn't turn it down!

APPLE AND JAM OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9½-inch round springform cake tin.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and caster sugar until pale and creamy. Add the oil and vanilla and beat until just combined. Using a spatula, gently fold in the flour.
• Pour half of the batter into the prepared tin, then dot with the strawberry jam and cover with half of the sliced apple. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Top with the remaining batter then the remaining apple slices. Finally, sprinkle over the tablespoon of caster sugar.
• Bake for 1 hour then reduce the temperature to 325°F and bake for a further 30 minutes or until deep golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Note: To make cinnamon sugar, combine 230 g (1 cup or 8 oz) caster sugar with 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Store in an airtight jar and use as needed.

OLIVE OIL APPLE CAKE WITH SPICED SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour about 1 Tbsp. oil into a 9x5" loaf pan and coat bottom and sides with fingertips. Sprinkle granulated sugar onto sides and bottom of pan to lightly coat.
• Grate apples, peel and all, on the large holes of a box grater. Gather apples in a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess liquid. Be aggressive! You want them as dry as possible when they go into the batter.
• Whisk cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, and ginger in a medium bowl. Transfer 1/4 tsp. spice mixture to a small bowl; set aside. Add flour and baking powder to remaining spice mixture and whisk to combine.
• Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl. Continue whisking vigorously until lightened in color and thickened. Whisking with one hand and pouring with the other, slowly stream 1 cup oil into egg mixture until combined. Gently fold flour mixture into whipped eggs with a flexible rubber spatula just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
• Fluff up grated apples and scatter over batter. Gently fold to incorporate.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Add 2 tsp. granulated sugar to reserved spice mixture and mix to combine. Sprinkle spiced sugar evenly over top of batter.
• Bake cake until deep golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Let cake cool in pan. Run a butter knife or offset spatula along edge of cake to loosen and invert onto a platter.
• Do Ahead: Cake can be made 3 days ahead (the flavor gets slightly more intense each day). Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
