Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For cake
Vegetable oil for greasing pan
1/2 cup matzo meal (not cake meal), plus additional for dusting
1 cup slivered almonds (4 1/2 oz), toasted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon salt
Scant 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
5 large eggs, separated, at room temperature for 30 minutes
1 cup granulated sugar
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and coarsely grated
For powdered sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon potato starch
Special Equipment
a 9- to 9 1/2-inch (24-cm) springform pan; an electric coffee/spice grinder

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Oil springform pan and dust with matzo meal, knocking out excess.
  • Pulse almonds in a food processor with 1/2 cup matzo meal, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cardamom until finely ground. (Be careful not to pulse to a paste.)
  • Beat yolks in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until smooth, then add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating, and beat until mixture is very thick and pale, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in nut mixture, then apples. Beat whites and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl with cleaned beaters at medium speed until they hold soft peaks. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, beating, and beat until whites just hold stiff peaks. Stir one fourth of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Scrape batter into pan and rap pan once on work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles.
  • Bake cake until puffed, browned, and top springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely in pan (cake will sink slightly in center). Run a knife around edge of cake to loosen, then remove side of pan.
  • Make powdered sugar:
  • Grind sugar in coffee/spice grinder until powdered, then stir together with potato starch in a bowl. Sift some of sugar over cake before serving and reserve remainder for another use.

Tips for Baking a Perfect Apple Almond Cake:

  • Mise en Place: Ensure all ingredients are accurately measured and preparations are complete before starting the baking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest apples for a crisp and flavorful cake. If using store-bought applesauce, ensure it's unsweetened.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring butter, eggs, and buttermilk to room temperature before mixing. This promotes even blending and a smooth batter.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a light and airy cake.
  • Gradually Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Gently Mix in Dry Ingredients: Use a spatula to gently mix in the dry ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can result in a tough cake.
  • Batter Consistency: The batter should be smooth and pourable, but not too thin. If it's too thick, add a little more buttermilk. If it's too thin, add a bit more flour.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the cake at the specified temperature and time, checking for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester. The toothpick should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cooling and Storing: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
