Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups All purpose Un-Bleached Flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons ground almonds (plus a few tablespoons for the pan)

wet ingredients:

• 3/4 cups brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flavorless oil
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
• + fruit, 4-5 apples sliced thin
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Glaze:

• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• 2 tablespoons honey (or agave syrup)
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl combine dry ingredients and whisk together. Add wet ingredients and mix to combine.
• Pour into a spring form pan thats been greased or sprayed. Using extra ground almonds sprinkle the pan and roll the almonds around so that they stick to the greased pan.
• Pour the cake batter into the pan and smooth out. Top the cake with fruit, use sliced apple cheeks, flat side down.
• Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of sugar and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 25 minutes. About 45 minutes total.
• You may have to lower the heat and move the cake around to prevent the almond crust from burning but assure you its well worth the fidgeting.
• Bake until a toothpick or sharp knife tests clean. Allow to rest at room temperature about 5 minutes.
• The cake will start to settle away from the edge of the pan. Remove the ring and pour glaze over top once its room temperature.
