Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the finely chopped or ground almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. You can either fold the apple slices into the batter or arrange them on top of the batter in a decorative pattern after pouring it into the pan.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. If you haven’t folded the apples into the batter, now arrange the apple slices on top in a circular pattern.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, slice and serve. This almond apple cake pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with sugar; this helps achieve a light and fluffy texture.
- Toast the almonds slightly before grinding them for a deeper, richer flavor.
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a well-rounded taste. Granny Smith and Fuji apples work well together.
- Gently fold the flour into the batter to avoid overmixing, which can make the cake dense.
- Test the cake with a toothpick; it should come out clean when inserted in the center, indicating the cake is done.
This Almond Apple Cake is a simple yet elegant dessert that brings together the rich flavors of almonds and apples. Whether served warm with a scoop of ice cream or enjoyed on its own, it's sure to be a hit. Follow these tips for the best results and enjoy your homemade treat!
