Indulge in the delightful fusion of nutty almonds and sweet apples with this almond and apple cake recipe. Perfectly moist and packed with flavor, this cake is an excellent choice for dessert or a mid-day treat. Let's get started on creating this simple yet delicious cake that everyone will love.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Set them aside for later use.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and then beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gently fold in the ground almonds. Then, gradually add the self-raising flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the almond and apple cake and serve. It pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you begin, as this allows for easier creaming with the sugar.
- For best results, use fresh, crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
- When folding in the flour, be careful not to overmix. This helps maintain the cake's light and fluffy texture.
- You can toast the almonds before incorporating them into the batter for an added depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier cake, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to complement the apples.
- Always check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Your almond and apple cake is now ready to be enjoyed! Whether served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or simply on its own, this cake's moist texture and delightful flavors are sure to impress. Happy baking!
