Recipes Desserts Cakes Apple Frangipane Cake 4.3 (3) 3 Reviews 3 Photos This is a dense, moist, and very flavorful apple frangipane cake that is very almond-forward in a yummy way. The apples complement it nicely and I loved the crunch of the toasted almonds on top.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1 (7 ounce) package almond paste 1 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste 5 large eggs 1 cup sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon kosher salt 2 medium Apples, raw 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon white sugar ¼ cup powdered sugar, or to taste 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds, or to taste Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan. Beat 1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons softened butter, almond paste, and 1 cup sugar at low speed with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth, light, and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla bean paste; add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until completely combined after each addition. Gently fold in flour and salt with a rubber spatula until just combined. Spoon mixture into the prepared springform pan. Arrange apples slices over top of batter; brush apples with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake in the preheated oven until browned and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Remove sides of pan and cool completely, about 1 hour. Dust top of cake with powdered sugar and sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds. Recipe Tip Be sure you purchase almond paste, not marzipan.
