Mary Berry Apple and Almond Cake Recipe

Print Recipe

Mary Berry’s Apple and Almond Cake is a classic British bake made with a simple sponge base enriched with ground almonds, topped with slices of apple and a scattering of flaked almonds. As it bakes, the apples soften into the sponge, keeping it moist, while the almonds on top become lightly toasted, adding texture and flavour. It’s a timeless cake that highlights the beauty of seasonal fruit in a homely yet elegant way.
