To begin making this Almond Flour Apple Cake I diced some apples.

Then I stirred together some brown sugar and cinnamon.

I added the diced apples to the brown sugar mixture and stirred until combined.  Then I set the apples aside until needed.

For the cake I combined some almond flour, arrowroot flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a large mixing bowl.

After blending all the dry ingredients I made a well in the center and poured in some vegetable oil and vanilla extract.

Once I had stirred in the oil and vanilla with a large wooden spoon I added in some large eggs.

I used the wooden spoon again to beat in the eggs.

Then I greased a 9″ x 13″ baking pan and spread out half of the batter.

Next I used a slotted spoon to sprinkle half of the apples on top of the batter in the pan.

I repeated the layers with the rest of the batter and diced apples.

Then I placed the pan in a preheated 350F oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

When the cake is cool you can serve as is or whip up some homemade maple frosting.

For the frosting I combined some shortening and maple extra in a mixing bowl.

After beating them together with an electric hand mixture until fluffy, I measured in some icing sugar and almond milk.

I used the electric hand mixer again to beat in the icing sugar and milk until combined and then on high speed for about 2 minutes.

Once the frosting was ready I spread it over the cake in the pan.

Almond Flour Apple Cake is a great ending to any meal or a nice snack for afternoon tea.

This moist flavourful cake, full of fall flavours, is delicious any time of the year.

Enjoy this easy recipe with friends and family!
