- Why did the cake collapse?
- You opened the oven too early, or used too much baking powder (it rose too fast and then collapsed).
- The almonds on top burned.
- Nuts brown quickly. If you sprinkle them on top (bottom of pan), cover with foil halfway through baking.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour the Bundt pan thoroughly.
Whisk together the flour, almond flour, and baking powder in a bowl.
Cream the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
Squeeze the liquid from the grated apples. Mix into the butter mixture.
Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk to the batter in small batches. Mix until smooth, but do not overmix.
Pour into the pan. Sprinkle the top (which will be the bottom if using a flat pan, but for Bundt usually you put nuts in the bottom of the pan first or mix them in) with sliced almonds. Note: If using a Bundt pan, sprinkle almonds in the greased pan before pouring batter.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Toothpick test is mandatory!
Let rest for 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
