Cooped up this weekend with a terrible cold, I couldn’t help myself but make a warming cake fit for the temperature drop here in Bristol.

I adapted this recipe from one found online (https://www.mamagourmand.com/almond-flour-apple-cake/) but fit for my 7 inch cake tin. I also added ginger and cinnamon for real autumnal feel. Measurements are approximate, as I always measure with the heart (even when baking 😅)

Will definitely make this again, so step photos to come!

Steps

1 hour

1

Cut a circle of parchment paper to line the bottom of your cake tin, and grease with oil or butter. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F)
2

Separate egg yolks from whites. Beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar for about 3 minutes, or until pale, thick and triple the volume (approximately). Mix in vanilla extract.
3

Fold in almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt with a spatula (the whisk won’t work here, the batter will be very thick). Add in grated ginger and cinnamon.
4

In a separate (very clean!) bowl, beat the egg whites until very stiff and holding peaks. Slowly incorporate the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mix, about 1/3 at a time until the batter is looser and well combined. Fold in the chopped apple.
5

Add batter to prepared cake tin and spread evenly. Top with nuts if desired or turbinado sugar (I didn’t have any).
6

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
7

Cool on a wire rack for longer than you’d like (about 1 hour). Run a knife around the edges of the cake tin before releasing the ring. Slice and enjoy!
