Apple Almond Cake




Sort of a medieval recipe. An alteration of a recipe that claimed to be medieval, but had no documentation.

2 cups apples, grated
1/2 cup honey
3 eggs
3/4 cup almond meal
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt 

Preheat oven to 350° F. Put the grated apple in water with lemon juice until ready to use. Let the eggs come to room temperature. (Putting them in warm water helps.)

Beat the eggs on high speed until pale yellow, a thick foam, small bubbles. Meanwhile gently heat the honey until it is thin and runny. Reduce the eggs to a medium beating speed and slowly pour the honey in as it beats. After the honey is added, beat on high speed for about a minute. Reduce to a low speed and slowly add the almond meal, cinnamon, and salt. Then fold in the grated apple.

Pour batter into a well-buttered 8" baking pan. Cover with foil.

Bake for 35-40 minutes.
