The recipe is easy to make, and uses olive oil, making it a great choice for those who don't eat dairy products. ** Carrot Cake: Substitute 1 1/2 cups of finely grated carrots for the apples to make a delicious Greek version of carrot cake. Ingredients:
5 eggs, separated |
5 golden delicious apples, peeled and grated |
2 cups sugar |
3 cups flour |
1 1/2 cups olive oil |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 390F (200C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and cinnamon. Add egg yolks, flour, baking powder, sugar, and grated apples. Stir well to combine. Beat the egg whites to a light froth and stir into the mixture carefully.
3. Bake in a lightly oiled in an 11 1/2-inch round (or equivalent) pan at 390F (200C) for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Note: If the top of the cake seems to be browning too quickly, cover with foil until the cake is done.
