DISH NAME : APPLE ALMOND CAKE

Preparation Time : 20 minutes

Cooking Time : 10 minutes

Baking Time : 40 minutes

Description

This cake does not use any oil. All purpose flour used is also very minimal. Applesauce is used in place of butter. The main ingredient used in place of all purpose flour is almond flour.

Note

1) When powdering almonds, keep in the fridge for an hour and powder. Since this nut has oil, if powdered at room temperature it may ooze out oil.
2) I sprinkled 1 tbsp of granulated sugar on top of cake just before baking. This is optional.

Method

Apple sauce:-
1) Peel and chop apples.
2) Cook apples with lime juice and sugar on a low heat with lid on. Do not add water to cook. keep aside to cool. Then puree it without adding water.
For cake:-
1) Pre-heat oven to 180 degree C.
2) Grease a 7 inch baking tin.
3) Mix eggs with puree in a blender.
4) Mix together both flours and cinnamon powder.
5) Add vanilla to egg mix. Stir well.
6) Fold in flours to the egg mix.
7) Tap the tin to remove bubbles. Dust almond flakes lightly with all purpose flour. Sprinkle on top of cake.
8) Pour into prepared tin and bake at 180 for about 40 minutes. Start checking after 30 minutes. If skewer/toothpick comes out clean, remove from oven. keep on a wire rack to clean.
