French-inspired apple frangipane cake with fresh apples and almond paste.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 (7 ounce) package almond paste
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup sifted cake flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 medium Apples, raw
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan to ensure easy release of your delicious creation.
  • Cream together 1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons of softened butter, almond paste, and 1 cup of sugar in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until well mixed. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture is smooth, light, and fluffy, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the vanilla bean paste. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each before adding the next. Carefully fold in the flour and salt with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the springform pan. Layer apple slices on top of the batter; brush the apples with melted butter and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over them.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove the sides of the pan and cool for about 1 hour. Finish by dusting the top of the cake with powdered sugar and sprinkling with toasted sliced almonds.
