I love the smell of baked apple in my house especially when it's cold outside. I bake all sort of apple cakes. I've made this cake at least 100 times. It always comes out perfect and delicious. It is one of my family's favourites and I made this one for my girlfriend, Joleen, who came by for dinner with her little son, George. This cake is wonderful with a hot cup of coffee or tea.German Apple Almond Cake

Don't forget to add the almond extract. I didn't have any and thought I would skip it because it was only a small amount. It still tastes good without it, but I think it'd taste better WITH it.
ReplyDeleteLesson learned!
Thanks for the tip on the almond extract. Will have to try this soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful cake but I had mine in a 10" springform pan and it baked in about 1/2 hour. So the 1 hour cooking time may be a tad too long, even with a smaller pan.
ReplyDeleteBut beautiful and fluffy cake. Not too sweet.
