Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Toss the sliced apples with the 2 teaspoons cinnamon and set aside.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Gradually add in half the flour, then the milk, then the remaining flour.

Butter and flour a 9 inch springform pan. Pour half the batter in the prepared pan, layer all the apples evenly over the batter, and top with the remaining batter.

In a small bowl, combine the slivered almonds and the remaining ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cake.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Almonds First 🥜
Lightly toast sliced or sliced almonds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the batter to intensify their nutty flavor and ensure they stay crispy rather than soggy.
Slice Apples Uniformly & Toss in Cinnamon 🍎
Cut your apples into consistent 1/4-inch slices and coat them lightly with cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar before folding into the batter—this ensures even flavor distribution and prevents apples from releasing excess moisture.
Room Temperature Ingredients are Essential 🌡️
Use room-temperature eggs, butter, and milk to create a smooth, well-emulsified batter that rises evenly and produces a tender crumb structure throughout the cake.
Don't Overmix After Adding Flour 🥄
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently and stop as soon as the flour disappears—overmixing develops gluten and creates a dense, tough cake instead of the tender, delicate texture you want.
Layer Strategically for Moisture & Texture 🍰
Spread half the batter in your prepared pan, layer apple slices and almonds in the middle, then top with remaining batter—this creates beautiful visual layers and ensures apples and almonds are distributed throughout rather than sinking to the bottom.
