Almond Apple Cake

Course Dessert

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp allspice
  • ⅛ tsp cardamom
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 7 ounces almond paste grated
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ⅔ cup milk at room temperature
  • 1 cup peeled and grated apple

For the Glaze

  • ½ tbsp melted butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar sifted
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp pure almond extract
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick spray; dust with flour. Whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter, almond paste, and sugars in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour mixture. Mix in milk and apples, then add remaining flour mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula; tap pan sharply to reduce air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes, until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

For the Glaze

  • Whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, salt, cinnamon, almond extract, and milk until smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag and drizzle over cake; let set before serving.
