Apricot, Cinnamon & Olive Oil Cake Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the diced apricots and chopped nuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
