This is my mom’s (very old) recipe called Raw Apple Cake. It is handwritten on index cards that have yellowed over time. Thankfully the recipe is still readable even though there are many smears and splotches from all the times these little cards have been used.
This apple cake recipe is absolutely delicious! It is best, however, on the first day. Unfortunately, this cake starts to get a little soft after that because of the apples. This recipe could easily be halved if you do not want to worry about leftovers.
Ingredients Needed to make this Raw Apple Cake Recipe:
Apples
Eggs
Sugar
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Oil
Flour
Salt
Baking Soda
Baking Powder (not pictured)
Chop up the apples into bite-size pieces. I like leaving the skin on, peel them if you like.
Beat the eggs and add them to the apples along with the sugar, oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Next, add the flour mixture to the apples and stir until all of the ingredients are combined.
Spread the apple cake batter into a 13 x 9 baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
Cool and serve. Top with powdered sugar if desired.Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45-55 minutes. Use a toothpick to test to see if it is done.

It really looks delicious, I have to try it! As to the oil, which one do you use? Do you think olive oil is good?
Hi! For baking, I almost always use Canola Oil. I haven’t tried olive oil for baking, but I would imagine you would want one that is light and tasteless. I hope you enjoy the cake. It really is delicious.
This sounds so amazing! I’ve pinned it! 🙂
