Delicious Apple Honey Cake made with almond flour, eggs, honey, apples, and spices. Perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions. Can be made ahead or quickly prepared.
Ingredients:
  • For the cake:
  • 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil (I use avocado oil)
  • 1 medium (7-ounce) Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks, or grated coarsely
  • For the glaze and topping:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk or water
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F and prepare an 8-inch cake pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the cake batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the eggs, honey, and oil. Whisk the wet ingredients in the center and gradually incorporate the surrounding flour until smooth. Mix in the julienned or grated apple.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smooth it evenly with a spatula, and gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles. Bake as directed.
  • Bake the cake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or the center reaches 210°F on a probe thermometer.
  • While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze and toast the almonds: Combine sugar, honey, and almond milk in a bowl. Cover and set aside. Toast sliced almonds in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, about five minutes. Shake the pan occasionally for even browning. Transfer almonds to a bowl to cool once done.
  • Place the baked cake on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, run a knife around the edge of the pan, invert the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment paper from the bottom, and carefully flip the cake right side up.
  • While the cake is warm, generously pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Sprinkle the almonds on top while the glaze is still glossy.
  • Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before serving. You can also prepare and glaze the cake up to a day in advance.
