Whole wheat apple cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups peeled and grated apples
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Step-by-step preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, beat the coconut oil and honey until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well.
4. Add the flour mixture to the oil and honey mixture and mix well until combined.
5. Add the grated apples and the chopped walnuts (if using) and mix well.
6. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
8. Serve the apple cake on its own or with a little Greek yogurt and more grated apple to decorate.
