Apple Almond cake

 I made this cake from a recipe I found in Canadian Living magazine, April 1994.

The original recipe:

1-1/2 cups all –purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1-1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 eggs

2/3 cup plain low fat yogurt

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 tsp  almond extract

3 peeled cored apples, thinly sliced

Topping:

3 tbsp sliced blanched almonds

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon.

In bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In separate bowl, beat eggs, stir in yogurt, butter and almond extract. Stir into flour mixture just until combined. Pour into 9-inch (22 cm) greased springform pan. Arrange apples over batter.

Topping: Combine almonds, sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples. Bake in 350 F (180 C) oven for 60 minutes or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Makes 8 servings.
