This is an extremely simple cake that smells great while it’s baking and tastes even better! I like this recipe for a number of reasons-first it is really quick to put together-under 10 minutes; then it doesn’t make a whole lot (I don’t know if anyone else has a problem with whispering baked goods-mine always go “Psst! Read more ! Liz-were here in the pan-have just a little piece!) You can probably double the recipe and use a 9X13 pan if you want though. Ingredients:
1 cup flour (all purpose or whole wheat or half/half) |
3/4 tsp baking soda |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/2 tsp cinnamon |
1/2 cup sugar (even less if you don't like it too sweet) |
1 cup rolled oats |
1/2 cup cooking oil (you could use a bit less if you like) |
1 egg |
1 tsp vanilla extract |
1 apple, peeled and chopped (about 3/4 cup more or less) |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Grease an 8”x8” pan or similar (I use a 6.5”x10”-I think that it is a brownie pan).
3. Put the raisins into small bowl and pour the orange juice over it and let them plump a bit while you peel and chop the apple.
4. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add the chopped apples and toss around so that they get coated with flour. Measure the oil into a cup and add the egg and vanilla and mix a bit with a fork then add it all at once to the dry mixture. Fold together till mixed and then add the raisins and orange juice. The mixture will be fairly thick. Put it into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes; it should be a nice colour and a tester will come out clean. Let it cool for a bit and serve. This is great at room temperature and also served slightly warm.
5. *Just a note on the oil-use a good cooking oil like vegetable or canola or corn oil-not olive oil*
