Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Sugar
- 250 milliliters Orange juice
- 120 milliliters Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 60 milliliters Water
- 200 grams Raisins (light or dark)
- 100 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 23cm (9-inch) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ground cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, orange juice, olive oil, water, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired before serving. Slice and enjoy!
