Almond Apple Cake
My Almond Apple Cake is full of nutty, buttery flavor and is perfectly served with your morning coffee!
Equipment
- 9x9 pan
Ingredients
- 1 c. all purpose flour
- ⅓ c. almond flour
- ½ c. light brown sugar
- 7 tbsp. unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- ½ c. milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp. almond extract
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 medium sized apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp. almond slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Combine the all-purpose flour and almond flour in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat 7 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter and ½ cup of light brown sugar together until the mixture is slightly fluffy. You can use a stand mixer if you prefer. Add 2 eggs and stir until well incorporated. Mix in ½ teaspoon of almond extract.
- Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until fully incorporated. Add ½ cup of milk and stir a few more times, being careful not to overmix. Sift in the remaining flour mixture, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt, then fold everything gently until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter into a greased and lined 9 inch circular baking pan. Spread the 2 thinly sliced apples on top of the batter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of almond slices. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool to room temperature before enjoying.
Notes
- Pat the apple slices dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from affecting the cake’s texture.
- Start checking the cake with a skewer at the 40-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
- Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture.
