✅ Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

• 4 medium sweet apples (red apples are best: Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, etc.)

• 4 large eggs

• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• A little olive oil (only for greasing the pan)

No sugar, honey, flour, or butter is added — sweetness comes only from the apples.

🍰 Instructions

1. Prepare the apples

• Peel the apples.

• Remove the core.

• Cut them into chunks.

• Blend or grate them to a smooth puree.
  (The smoother the puree, the fluffier the cake.)

2. Mix the batter

• Add the eggs to the apple puree.

• Whisk or blend until mixed.

• Add:

  • Cocoa powder

  • Baking powder

• Blend until fully combined.
  The batter will be slightly runny — that’s perfect.

3. Prepare the baking pan

• Lightly grease a cake mold or loaf pan with olive oil.

• Optionally line with parchment paper for easier removal.

4. Bake

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

• Pour the batter into the pan.

• Bake for 35–45 minutes.

  • The cake is ready when a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Cool and serve

• Let it cool completely before slicing (it firms up as it cools).

• Optionally brush a spoonful of warm cocoa + water on top for extra shine (like in the photo).
