How to Make Apple Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs, 1 cup turbinado sugar (or brown sugar), ½ cup coconut oil (or olive oil/melted butter), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, and a pinch of salt.
  4. In a small bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until creamy.
  5. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and beat well to combine.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in ½ cup raisins, ½ cup chopped walnuts, and ½ cup dried cranberries.
  8. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. The batter will be chunky.
  10. Create a grid pattern on top of the batter using 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds in the gaps.
  11. Sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar.
  12. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
