Boy, oh boy, it’s raining cats and dogs outside. And what could be better to cheer oneself up than an upside down apple cake. I was looking at one of my magazines and found this recipe. It’s extremely easy and delicious, and the crushed almonds make it fabulous.

Thanks Kerry, it’s not silly at all, I didn’t know before, Caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar that you may see in some dessert recipes. It is finer than granulated sugar but not nearly as fine as powdered sugar.
Sounds and looks incredible! This may be a silly questions, but what is caster sugar?
Thanks Erica,
I love all your cakes, Anna! I am printing this recipe
Thank you.

Thanks Dawn,
Thanks Carol, that’s the biggest flaw from internet, that you can’t just send a slice of cake pressing “send”. Sorry the technology is not catching up with us.
Thanks Jane, glad you like it.
Thanks Mary,
Apples and almonds make a great combination. I would like a slice, please – and another cup of tea.
This looks so good! I love your photos!

This sounds delicious! I’ve always wanted to use ground almonds to make a cake with, but always seem to forget when it comes time to choose a recipe. You’ve given me a nice reminder!!!

What a beautiful cake! I love any dessert that uses both nuts and apples together, so this sounds like it would be absolute heaven on a plate… yum.
YUM! This cake is just beautiful and looks absolutely delicious!
Ground almond always make cakes so moist – this is lovely! I love how golden it looks… I would gladly have one or two slices right now.
Wow, this cake is absolutely fantastic. I made an apple cake once but it wasn’t as moist looking as this cake. Thanks for the link. I’m still disturbed by what happened. But at least we can still do something.
This looks so good! It is raining here too and believe it or not I’ve had cake on my mind. Gloomy weather tends to put me in the mood to bake.
