Apple Cake
Recipe adapted from King Arthur Baking
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 50 – 55 minutes
Serves: approximately 8 to 10
Ingredients
*ingredients available at the market
1/2 tablespoon butter, softened*
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, room temp*
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 apples, peele and sliced about 1/4” thick*
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly grease the bottom of an 8″ or 9″ springform pan or round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper cut to fit the bottom of the pan. Generously butter the parchment and sides of the pan with the softened butter. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sugar, and extract until creamy. Whisk in the dry ingredients until combined.
Use a rubber spatula to fold the apples into the batter.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan; use your spatula to even out the apples if needed.
Bake until golden-brown on top and a toothpick or paring knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 to 55 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack.
Run a paring knife around the edges of pan to release the sides; or, if using a cake pan, invert it onto a rack or plate, remove the parchment, and turn it back over, top-side up, onto a wire rack. Let cool for at least 15 minutes more. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
