Greek Apple Cake
Ingredients
  • 5 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1/4 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 1/2 cups olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 5 eggs, separated
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 apples, grated
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Prepare a round baking pan with dimensions 11 inches in diameter by lining it with parchment paper.
3
In a large bowl, blend sliced apples with 1/2 cup white sugar and melted butter to create a harmonious mixture. Handle the apples with care, as you want to preserve their delicate texture.
4
Transfer the sugary liquid from this mixture into your prepared baking pan.
5
Arrange sliced apples in a circular pattern on top of the sugary liquid, creating a visually appealing display.
6
Sprinkle raisins over the apples and pour any remaining juice from the apple mixture to create a rich, syrupy glaze.
7
In another bowl, combine olive oil and ground cinnamon to create a fragrant mixture.
8
Add egg yolks, flour, grated apples, baking powder, and the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar to this mixture. Stir everything together until it forms a cohesive whole.
9
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites to a light and airy consistency.
10
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the olive oil mixture, taking care not to deflate it.
11
Pour this final mixture over the apples in your baking pan.
12
Bake the cake in a preheated oven until it passes the knife test, indicating that it is cooked through and tender. This should take approximately 45 minutes.
13
If the top of the cake starts to brown before it's fully cooked, cover it with foil to prevent overcooking.
14
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
