- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice. Set aside.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until smooth.
5. Incorporate Sugar: Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar into the wet mixture, beating until fully dissolved and integrated.
6. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a soft cake.
7. Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is baked through.
