This is such an easy cake to make and so delicious. I make it often because my husband thinks it's as good as having a dessert in a restaurant. You can serve it plain, with confectioners' sugar, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Spray oil for pan
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup almond flour
1 t baking powder
¼ t ground ginger
½ t fine sea salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter
2 t vanilla extract
1 T Calvados (French apple brandy) optional
3 medium Honeycrisp apples, skin left on and cut into ¼ inch slices
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Spray oil in a 7-inch springform cake pan and set on a pizza pan or baking sheet.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt.
In a bowl of a mixer beat eggs until frothy, about 1 minute.
With beater on slow, beat in the sugar, butter, vanilla, and if using, the Calvados.
Pour half of the batter in the prepared pan.
arrange half of the apples on top of the batter.
Pour in the rest of the batter, scraping the bowl clean.
Top batter with remaining sliced apples in a design of your choosing.
Place in oven and bake for 55 minutes.
Let cool 10 minutes before running a kitchen knife around edges and unclipping the
coller.
Serve immediately or cover and let cool in the refrigerator.
I cover the cake with a bowl, so not to mess up the top of the cake.
Serves 6
