Apple Almond Cake (Spanish Style)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
Using almond flour is common in Spanish baking (like Tarta de Santiago), providing a rich oil content and gluten-free texture. The moisture from apples combined with almond oil results in an incredibly juicy cake that stays moist for days. This is a dense, buttery cake, not a light sponge.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the pan. Cream butter and sugar until pale (5 min).

Tip: Sugar crystals cut into the butter, trapping air.
2 ✓

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.

Tip: Prevents curdling.
3 ✓

Mix dry ingredients (flours, baking powder, cinnamon, salt) and alternate adding with milk to the butter mix.

Tip: Almond flour keeps it moist.
4 ✓

Peel and slice apples. Pour batter into pan, press apples into the top. Sprinkle with almonds.

Tip: Almond flour absorbs apple juices.
5 ✓

Bake approx. 50 mins. Cover with foil halfway if browning too fast.

Tip: Nuts brown faster than flour.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use ground almonds instead of flour?
Yes, but almond flour is finer. Home-ground almonds are oilier and may make the cake heavier.
Why did the apples sink?
Natural for this batter. A thicker batter holds them better.
