ITALIAN APPLE CAKE "Torte di Mele"

Ingredients (scaled)

1 servings

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

Do not peel the apples. Cut them into 1/2 inch cubes and discard the cores.

Place apples in a bowl. Drizzle lemon juice over them and toss to coat.

Add raisins, coconut, walnuts, and granulated sugar to the apples. Mix to combine.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer, combine the eggs and sugar until slightly thick and light yellow.

Beat in the melted butter and amaretto.

Add the flour mixture and beat just enough to combine.

Stir the apple mixture into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown.

Transfer cake to a rack to cool.

Dust with confectioners sugar before serving.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

For an especially delicious topping, add a tablespoon of amaretto

to the cream while it is being whipped.
