Ingredients

• 150 g Wheat flour ( sifted )
• 75 g Brown sugar ( dry )
• 1.5 piece Egg ( whole )
• 50 ml Extra virgin olive oil ( liquid )
• 50 g Honey ( liquid )
• 25 g Cane molasses ( liquid )
• 50 ml Whole milk ( at room temperature )
• 1 tsp Cinnamon powder ( ground )
• 0.5 pinch Clove ( ground )
• 5 g Baking powder ( powder )
• 25 g Walnut kernel ( crushed )
• 25 g Raisin ( whole )
• 0.5 pinch Gray sea salt ( fine )

Instructions

1. Preparing the batter

   In a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs with the brown sugar until the mixture pales and becomes frothy.

2. Incorporating liquids

   Drizzle in the olive oil, then add the honey, molasses, and milk. Mix well until the texture is fluid and smooth.

3. Adding dry ingredients

   Sift the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Gradually fold them into the mixture to avoid lumps. Stir in the crushed walnuts and raisins last.

4. Baking

   Pour into a buttered mold. Bake at 180°C. The cake is ready when the crust is dark brown and a knife blade comes out clean and dry.

Chef's tips

• Do not open the oven during the first 30 minutes to prevent the cake from collapsing.
• The cake is even better the next day, once the spice flavors have fully infused the crumb.

Storage

Store in a clean cloth or airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
