Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Other Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and sliced apples
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
Mixing the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined. Fold in the sliced apples gently.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Notes
Pro Tips: Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing. Substitute almond flour with more all-purpose flour if desired. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container. Make-ahead by baking a day in advance.
