  • In a bowl, pour the olive oil, sugar, orange juice, water, baking soda and lemon zest and mix well with the mixer on medium speed for a few minutes.
  • Slowly add flour and cinnamon and mix again with the mixer on medium speed until they are well combined. If it is difficult with the mixer, continue mixing with a spoon. At the end, add the raisins and stir.

Notes

Tip: to make sure it is fully cooked, put a knife in the pie towards the end of baking. If it comes out clean, without stuck dough, it means that it’s ready.
