My Romanian family all make some version of this dense apple walnut cake every autumn. I think it’s common to Germans, Austrians, and Hungarians too. I’m so pleased that I could almost replicate the taste and texture without wheat! Coconut flour can be substituted for almond flour. Makes a 9×13-inch pan. When cool, you can dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup sorghum flour
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup rice flour
- ¼ cup tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups white sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 4 small Golden Delicious apples – peeled, cored, and chopped
- ½ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan; lightly flour with gluten-free flour.
Step 2
Whisk sorghum flour, almond flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Step 3
Whisk sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until incorporated and batter is thoroughly combined. Fold in apples and walnuts. Pour and press batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
