This is a very dense, rich, cake. It is deliciously scented with vanilla and the perfume of dried fruit. The flavor of the olive oil punctuates the fruit and the apple cider adds a crisp autumnal bite.I have started using sea salt when I bake as the salt dissolves completely. I have better results with sea salt than with kosher salt, but either will work. We serve this cake for lunch during the holidays or even for a quick breakfast before heading off to the synagogue.

Ingredients:

3 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
zest of 1 orange
3?4 cup best quality extra-virgin olive oil
2?3 cup apple cider (I prefer unfiltered)
3 teaspoons vanilla extract or 2 vanilla beans scraped
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup chopped dried figs, dates, apricots, or raisins*

Apple Cider Glaze
1 1/4 cup confectioner
