Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 90 mins
Total time: 2 hours
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 3 cups white flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups sugar
- teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 4 Bramley baking apples
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon sugar
- Slivers of almonds [for the top]
- parchment paper
- Spray flour or butter [to grease the pan]
- Removable bottom cake tin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven for 350F.
- Prep your four apples by chopping them into chunks, skins on, holding back 3-4 slices, skins off to garnish the top of your cake. [see photos below.]
- Mix your dry ingredients first. Add your wet ingredients, in the order on the left, stopping after you add the apples chunks.
- Trace parchment paper around your pop-out bottom cake tin.
- Thoroughly butter/grease your tin [I use spray release] and then add your parchment.
- Pour the batter, saving 1/8 inch for apples to garnish.
- Add the apples rings, cinnamon and almond flakes.
- Place in the center rack in the oven for approximately 1 hour.
- Check on it though, as you want it to be moist and different sized tins, climates and altitude not to mention different appliances all impact timing!
- You'll know when it's done. It will be spongy to the touch and your toothpick will come away clean .It should look brown but not burnt on top.
