Pistachio Apple Cake 开心果苹果蛋糕
Here is another light, moist and gluten free cake. You can never imagine that only 15g of rice flour and a quarter teaspoon of baking powder with some grated apple can make this cake so wonderfully delicious. This cake has a nutty fragrance from the pistachio nuts and ground almond. The cake still stayed soft even after being chilled for 2-3 days. I baked this cake twice in a week and received many compliments from friends and family. Do have a try on this super easy yummy cake. You’ll never regret it.

Author: Ann Low
Serves: 5-6 servings
Ingredients
- 50g Pistachio nuts
- 15g Rice flour
- ¼ tsp Baking powder
- 75g Ground almond/almond meal
- 3 large Eggs, separated (70g each)
- 50g Sugar
- 20g Sugar
- ½ Red apple (about 60g), unpeeled and grated
- 50g Butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Grease and line the base of a 7 inch (18cm) cake pan.
- Place the pistachio nuts and rice flour into a food processor and process until the nuts are finely ground. The flour helps the nuts to grind evenly. Add the baking powder and ground almonds and pulse till just combined.
- Using an electric mixer beat the egg yolks and the 50g sugar on high speed till the mixture is very thick. Stir in the ground nut/flour mix, apple and butter and stir well. The mixture will be quite stiff at this stage, set aside.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg whites to soft peak stage then add 20g sugar and beat to firm peak.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the nut mixture in two batches. Place the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 50 minutes until cooked through.
- Allow the cake to set in the pan for 5-10 minutes then turn out onto a cake rack to cool.
- Dust the cake with a little icing sugar before serving.

- 开心果苹果蛋糕
- 材料:
- 50克 开心果
- 15克 粘米粉
- 1/4茶匙 发粉
- 75克 杏仁粉
- 3个 全蛋 (1个越70克)
- 蛋黄蛋白分开
- 50克 砂糖
- 20克 砂糖
- 1/2粒 红苹果带皮(约60克),磨碎
- 50克 溶化牛油
- 做法:
- 先预热烤箱180度。准备一个7寸圆烤盘,抹油底部铺纸。
- 将开心果和粘米粉放入搅拌机把开心果磨成粉。加入粘米粉一起搅打可促进坚果磨的更细腻。然后参入发粉和杏仁粉,搅打均匀即可。
- 用高速度把蛋黄和50克砂糖打至松发。拌入粉料,苹果碎和融化牛油。这时候的蛋糊会变得很浓稠,备用。
- 将蛋白搅打起,加入20克砂糖继续搅打至硬发性。
- 用橡皮刮刀把蛋白霜轻轻的分2次翻拌入蛋糊里至均匀即可。倒入准备好的烤盘里,烤约50分钟至熟透。
- 让蛋糕连烤盘待凉5-10分钟后,才取出放在凉架上待凉。
- 撒些糖粉在蛋糕表层上即可切片享用。
- 只用了15克的粘米粉就能做出很香和湿润的开心果苹果蛋糕。真的好吃。所以一周内烤了两次呢。:D
