I have lots of apples from my apple tree this year. I made two apple pies with some of the apples, and I gave away a couple of bags full of apples. Well, I wanted to make an apple cake this weekend, but I had a difficult time finding a gluten free apple cake recipe from other folks' blogs that looked good enough to try. I tried one cake that had buckwheat and brown rice, but that wasn't very good-nor did it look anything like the posted picture. I then saw this gal's post: http://coryographies.blogspot.com/2012/12/recipe-gluten-free-apple-almond-cake.html. I thought could this be true; it looks too prefect. So, I tried her recipe.
Ingredients:
3 chopped apples (I used 4 apples since my apples were small-medium)
Juice of 1 lemon
300g golden caster sugar
8 eggs
325g ground almonds
sliced almonds for top
Directions:
In a pan, cook apples with lemon juice and a bit of the sugar. Mash them when they are soft enough, but leave them a bit lumpy for texture.
In another bowl mix the eggs, and then add the ground almonds, rest of the sugar and lemon juice, and the apple mash.
Grease a spring form pan and pour in the mixture, sprinkling the sliced almonds on top.
Bake 350 degree oven for 40-60 minutes or until done. At 30 minutes cover top of cake with foil.
Yes, it looks just like the gal's cake. Yes, the cake is easy to make and delicious!
