Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 6 tablespoons softened butter, almond paste, and 1 cup granulated sugar on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth, light, and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. (7 minutes)

03

Step

Beat in vanilla bean paste; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until completely combined after each addition. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gently fold in sifted cake flour and kosher salt with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon mixture into the prepared springform pan. Arrange apple slices attractively over the top of the batter. Brush apples with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. (55 minutes)

07

Step

Remove to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Remove the sides of the springform pan and cool completely, about 1 hour. (70 minutes)

08

Step

Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds before serving. (5 minutes)

For a deeper almond flavor, consider adding a few drops of almond extract to the batter.
To prevent the apples from sinking, toss them lightly with a tablespoon of flour before arranging them on the cake.
If the cake starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

    Easy to follow instructions and the cake came out perfect. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the apples for a little extra warmth.

    This recipe is a winner! The cake was incredibly moist and the frangipane flavor was spot on. My family loved it!

  • Kyle Wiza

    I made this for a dinner party and it was a huge hit! The apples were perfectly tender and the almond flavor was subtle but delicious.

  • Alek Ziemann

    I had a little trouble with the almond paste clumping, but once it was all mixed, it baked up beautifully. I will definitely make this again!
