Apple Almond Cake
Hope everyone is staying safe... what crazy times we are in now!
Having the kids at home makes them want to snack often (mainly due to boredom) and this has pushed me into trying new recipes... I have been experimenting with almond flour of late either to replace part of all of all purpose flour and thought that almonds and apple will make a great combination. This cake is not overly sweet and is also not too rich and makes for a great and easy dessert. The kids enjoyed with vanilla icecream and also loved it plain.
APPLE ALMOND CAKE
Ingredients:
Gala apples (medium size) - 3 to 4, peeled, cored and sliced think lengthwise
Almond Flour - 3/4 cup
All purpose flour - 3/4 cup
Sugar 3/4 cup + 3 tbsp (divided)
Butter - 5 tbsp, melted
Eggs - 1
Egg Yolks - 2
Applesauce - 4 tbsp
Milk - 1/4 cup
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Baking powder - 2 tsp
Salt - half tsp
Slivered or Sliced Almonds - 2 tbsp (topping)
Method:
1) Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 8 inch round pan or square pan and dust with flour. Set aside.
2) In a wide pan, add a tbsp of butter and add the apple slices with 1 tbsp of sugar on medium flame until it cooks down a bit and loses any excess moisture. Set aside when done.
3) Meanwhile, beat together the 1 egg and 2 tbsp sugar for 2 mins till it turns pale and light. Add in 4 tbsp of melted butter, apple sauce and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
4) In a separate bowl, stir together almond flour, all purpose flour and 3/4 cup sugar with baking powder and salt until combined.
5) Add the above flour mixture and milk alternately to the egg batter. So, half of the flour mixture, beat lightly, then milk, beat lightly and the remaining flour mixture and beat till just combined.
6) Remove 1 cup of this batter separately and add 2 egg yolks and beat well. To this add 3/4 of the apple mixture and stir. Reserve 1/4th of the apple mixture to top the cake.
7) Pour this apple batter onto the base of the prepared pan and top with the other batter (that is remaining) Spread evenly. Now place the apple slices on the top and sprinkle with almonds.
8) Bake for about 35 mins or till a toothpick inserted comes clean. Allow to cool completely and serve as is or warm with a side of icecream :)
Enjoy!
