Apple almond cake
I have just made this apple almond cake after not being able to bake for over a week. It was the longest week ever. Not only because I have a super sweet tooth but because I really wanted to get into the kitchen and bake something.
I wasn’t able to stand for long, due to my surgery not long ago, so I had to do something that did not require more than 10 or 15 minutes standing up. This cake was the answer!!
I used my old recipe for coconut and lime cake and I just made minor alterations to make an almond and apple version.
My friends often ask me how come I have all of this time to bake, I always tell them that most of the times I bake I do things that don’t require too much time. This cake is an example.
Sometimes I might spend a little bit more time baking more elaborate things, like breads and sugar cookies, but for the most part my baking time is not too exceptional. Also, when it comes to blogging I really don’t elaborate to much on taking pictures due to time constraints, I wish I could, maybe in the future.
Enjoy!

Miryam's original recipe
Yield: 8 servings
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup almond milk, or any other milk of choice
- 1 tsp aluminum free baking powder
- 1/2 tsp aluminum free baking soda
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup unrefined sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp almond extract, or vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1-2 apples, peeled and grated
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, I use a wire whisk to do this, combine eggs, milk, sugar, and oil. Add flour, baking soda and baking powder.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the grated apple and almonds over the cake.
Bake until golden, 40-50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 20-30 minutes, then turn onto a cooling rack and cool completely.

bubumotherof2,

wow…!! it looks superb.. !!
Mouth watering… looks really good, I know I can’t make ale cake this good looking :)
Really, it looks like you spend a lot of time on your pictures! Sometimes I even call my husband in to look at one. And I remember whining to him one day about how pretty your pictures were and how it just wasn’t fair that I coudn’t take similar photos.
I haven’t made the crostatas already like I said I would because I’m still waiting on little pie pan thingies. Just so you don’t think I made them but didn’t like them or something. :)
I’m happy that you’re now able to get up and bake. I hope you’re fully recovered!
Texanerin,
thanks so much for your kind comment. Let me know how the crostatas turn out :-)
