Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and honey until smooth and slightly pale.
  3. Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.
  6. Toss diced apples with lemon juice, then fold them into the batter evenly.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Fuji or Gala for best texture.
  • You can replace vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • Add walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
  • Nutmeg or cardamom can be added for deeper spice notes.
  • Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Can be frozen for up to 2 months in airtight wrapping.
