Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh ripe plums
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 125 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 80 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts
- 50 grams Chopped almonds
- 50 grams Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Wash the plums, remove the pits, and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In a large bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped plums, walnuts, almonds, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake on its own or with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream if desired.
