How to prepare the Whole Wheat Apple and Orange Cake

Wash the orange. Grate the zest and squeeze it to extract the juice. Peel the apples, clean them, and cut one into cubes and the other into thin slices. Beat the 2 eggs with the sugar, ideally with an electric mixer, for 7-8 minutes until you have a light and frothy mixture.
Add the vegetable oil, orange juice, and zest to the eggs. You need about 3.5 oz of orange juice, if one orange is not enough add more juice. Mix.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and baking powder. Mix well. Lastly, add the diced apple and mix with a spatula.
Oil or line a loaf pan with parchment paper; mine measures 8 x 4.5 inches. Pour the batter into it, leveling it with a spatula.
Finish by adding the apple slices on top, letting them sink slightly into the batter. Bake the Apple Plumcake in a preheated oven at 356°F in static mode for 35-40 minutes. Always do the toothpick test to check the cake’s doneness inside.
Let the cake cool before transferring it to a serving plate. Decorate as desired with some powdered sugar.
See you tomorrow with a new recipe, a hug, Loredana
