Ingredients
-
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.
