• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder

• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 60 milliliters Water
• 200 grams Raisins (light or dark)
• 100 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 23cm (9-inch) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ground cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, orange juice, olive oil, water, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired before serving. Slice and enjoy!
