Greek Olive Oil Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 3/8 cups olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons brandy
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup Thompson seedless raisins
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of three fifty degrees Fahrenheit or one seventy five degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take some butter and rub it all over a twelve-inch round cake pan to prevent it from sticking.
3
In a large mixing vessel, merge together olive oil, freshly squeezed orange juice, and brandy. Stir in granulated sugar until it's fully incorporated.
4
In a separate container, whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder until they're well combined. Gently sift these dry ingredients into the oil mixture to avoid lumps.
5
Add some chopped walnuts, plump raisins, and a pinch of warm cinnamon to the mixture. Fold everything together until it's smooth and even.
6
Tip the batter into your prepared cake pan, making sure to level the top for an even bake.
7
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the batter to add some extra flavor and texture.
8
Bake your cake in the preheated oven for anywhere from forty-five to sixty minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and free of any dough residue.
