Swedish Apple Cake - Appelkaka
- 3 tablespoons biscotti, crumbs
- 1 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 apples, pared
- 4 apples, sliced into 8 wedges
- 1/3 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch spring-form pan or cake pan. Sprinkle the crumbs in the pan, being sure to coat the bottom and sides as evenly as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sugar with butter. Add one egg at a time until all are incorporated.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the bowl until a smooth batter is formed. Pour batter into pan.
- Toss the apple slices in the cinnamon and 3 tablespoons remaining sugar, then press each one lightly into the batter to form a decorative pattern (pinwheel pattern is the prettiest). Scatter chopped almonds across the top.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
