How to make almond cake with apples step by step

Step 1 - preparations

• Preheat the oven to 170℃ (fan-forced) or 180℃ (top/bottom heat mode).
• Grease the baking pan with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs or flour (you can also line it with baking paper).
  
• Mix together the flour, almonds, and baking powder.
  125 g all-purpose flour, 125 g almonds, 2 teaspoons baking powder
  
• Dice two larger apples.
  3 apples
  
• Slice the third apple.
  

Step 2 - preparing the creamed almond cake

• Place butter and sugar in a large bowl (if you wish, you can add a touch of almond extract) and start mixing them together at high speed.
  160 g butter, 200 g powdered sugar, almond extract
  
• Beat for several minutes until the butter mixture becomes fluffy and pale in color.
  
• Then add one egg at a time and a spoonful of the mixed flour to the bowl - mix briefly - just until combined and at low speed of the mixer.
  4 eggs
  
• Once you've added all the eggs, add about half of the remaining flour and mix briefly, then add the rest of the flour and mix just until combined – stop mixing when you still see remnants of flour.
  
• Then turn off the mixer and gently fold the batter with a spoon.
  
• Add the diced apples to the batter and gently mix.
  
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
  
• Arrange the sliced apple on top and finally sprinkle the top of the cake with almond flakes.
  approx. 30 g almond flakes
  

Step 3 - baking the almond cake with apples

• Place the pan with the cake on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 50-55 minutes – until a wooden skewer inserted comes out clean.
• After baking, cool the cake and remove it from the pan.
