Ingredients
  

  • 2 green apples, peeled and diced small
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup strong black coffee or tea

Dry ingredients:

  • 2 1/3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel and dice apples and set aside.
  • In a bowl, add the wet ingredients and sugar in intervals with mixing in between.
  • Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients ⅓ cup at a time with mixing in between.
  • Use two loaf pans lined with parchment paper, pour a thin layer of batter, spread the chopped apples, pour the rest of the batter to cover the apples. Run a back of a spoon in the batter and bake at 325° for 40-54 minutes until the middle of the cake is firm.

Notes

Optional: Into a pot, add 2/3 cup water and 1/4 cup honey, bring to a boil and make warm sauce to pour over the cakes after baking. Alternately, sprinkle powdered sugar when the cakes are completely cooled.
Tip: make sure not to over mix at any stage of the mixing. Mix just until ingredients are incorporated to create a smooth batter.
