Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease and line with baking paper a 20cm deep round baking tin.
Whisk together coconut milk and apple cider vinegar and let rest for five minutes. Peel and dice two apples. Add the sugar, olive oil and vanilla to the coconut milk and cider vinegar until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the apple and raisins to the bowl. Then fold in sifted flour, cornflour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice and salt.

Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
