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.
