Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For cake
Vegetable oil for greasing pan
1/2 cup matzo meal (not cake meal), plus additional for dusting
1 cup slivered almonds (4 1/2 oz), toasted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon salt
Scant 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
5 large eggs, separated, at room temperature for 30 minutes
1 cup granulated sugar
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and coarsely grated
For powdered sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon potato starch
Special Equipment
a 9- to 9 1/2-inch (24-cm) springform pan; an electric coffee/spice grinder

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Oil springform pan and dust with matzo meal, knocking out excess.
  • Pulse almonds in a food processor with 1/2 cup matzo meal, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cardamom until finely ground. (Be careful not to pulse to a paste.)
  • Beat yolks in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until smooth, then add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating, and beat until mixture is very thick and pale, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in nut mixture, then apples. Beat whites and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl with cleaned beaters at medium speed until they hold soft peaks. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, beating, and beat until whites just hold stiff peaks. Stir one fourth of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Scrape batter into pan and rap pan once on work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles.
  • Bake cake until puffed, browned, and top springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely in pan (cake will sink slightly in center). Run a knife around edge of cake to loosen, then remove side of pan.
  • Make powdered sugar:
  • Grind sugar in coffee/spice grinder until powdered, then stir together with potato starch in a bowl. Sift some of sugar over cake before serving and reserve remainder for another use.

150g150g soft light brown sugar
2large2 large free range eggs
210g210g plain flour, sifted
1tbsp1tbsp baking powder
pinchpinch of salt
1tsp1 tsp ground cinnamon
2tsp2 tsp ground cardamom
300g300g peeled, cored and sliced cooking apple (Shouldn't be more than one large one)
50g50g flaked almonds
3tbsp3 tbsp apple or apricot jam

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease and line a 20cm cake tin with a removable base. 2. With an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale. 3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are incorporated. 4. Fold through the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom and cinnamon until you have a thick cake batter. 5. Stir through the apple and pour the batter into the cake tin. 6. The batter will be thick, so use a spatula to spread across the base of the tin. 7. Spread the almonds of top of the cake and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Cover with tin foil if the almonds brown too much. 8. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. 9. As the cake is cooling, heat the jam in a saucepan until runny and brush over top of the cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for this cake. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use unsweetened applesauce, but the cake will be less flavorful.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and distribute their flavor throughout the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

This apple almond cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
