You could almost call this Apple Olive Oil Cake a 'slice' because it's so moist & it only rises an inch or so. There isn't any need for electric mixers or beaters.. so it's an 'easy bake' recipe and a great way to use up any leftover apples in your fruit bowl. The cinnamon/apple combo is amazing.

Looks like a great slice to have with a cup of tea! :)
Hi 'Indolent Cook' :)
..yes..or coffee! When the Apple Olive Oil cake is baking it definitely looks like a cake and the batter is the same as a cake batter. I didn't call it a slice because this is soft and slices are a bit firmer, but it does look like a slice.. Maybe it's a cross between cake and slice! Like that fine line between a smoothie and milkshake hey? ;) Thanks for popping by. And yes, I did write that as 'pooping' by (before amending it) ;)
