Apple Cake with Orange Sauce

From the Kitchen of: Paz

To make the Cake:
In a large bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, unbleached flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and honey. Whisk in the oil and vanilla, then the orange juice. Stir in the apples, cranberries, raisins and dates.
Pour the fruit mixture over the dry ingredients. Fold until the dry ingredients are just moistened; do not overmix.
Coat a 9" x 13" baking dish with no-stick spray. Add the batter and spread evenly.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until browned and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack.
- TO MAKE THE SYRUP:
- While the cake is baking, in a 1-qt saucepan, combine the orange juice, honey and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until syrupy.
- Remove from the heat and set aside until the cake is ready. Pour over the hot cake.
