Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 120g all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup 50g almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar or golden coconut sugar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup apple cider not vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 grated Honeycrisp apple about 1 heaping cup, unpeeled
  • Optional: zest of 1 orange for brightness

Method
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  1. Line an 8-inch round pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
Combine dry ingredients:
  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Mix wet ingredients:
  1. In another bowl, whisk together olive oil, coconut sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, apple cider, vanilla, and orange zest (if using) until smooth.
Add the apple:
  1. Stir in the grated apple.
Combine:
  1. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix gently until just combined — the batter will be slightly thin, and that’s perfect.
Bake:
  1. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden.
Cool and glaze:
  1. Let the cake cool, then drizzle with maple glaze or dust with powdered sugar.
