Ingredients
  • 1 stick softened unsalted butter or 113 grams
  • ⅔ caster sugar, plus 2 tbsp
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1¼ cup ground almonds/almond flour
  • ¾ cup Cake flour or All purpose flour
  • ¼ cup Black sesame seeds powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder (+ ½ tsp if using plain all purpose flour)
  • 2 apples sliced
  • 2 tbsp flaked almonds
  • ⅓ tsp almond extract
  • a pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven at 350 degree. Grease and Line a 9' by 5' pan. You can use any pan you want.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together, the ground almonds, all purpose or cake flour,black sesame seeds flour, baking powder and salt. Mix it well with a whip or a fork until it is well incorporated.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter and whip it by hand or an electric mixer until it is soft and creamy. It will take around 2 minutes. Add the eggs and sugar alternating between the two, mix and whip well until everything is silky and smooth and lighter. It will take another 3 minutes.
  4. Switch to a rubber spatula and add a few tablespoons of dry ingredients at a time to the wet ingredients and fold carefully. After all the ingredients are folded well, pour in the prepared pan and tap to take out any air bubbles.
  5. Arrange the apple any way you want and Bake in the center of the oven for 45- 1 hour depending on the size of the pan and your oven. If you see that the top it browning a bit fast or darkening, use an aluminium foil and wrap on top, so the tops remain golden brown.
  6. Check with a tooth pick or skewer to see if it's done. Take it out and cool.
Note-This cake is best left at room temperature overnight or even a day.
