  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • 1/8 tsp cardamom
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 7 oz almond paste, grated
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 1 cup peeled and grated apple*

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick spray; dust with flour. Whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter, almond paste, and sugars in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour mixture. Mix in milk and apples, then add remaining flour mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula; tap pan sharply to reduce air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes, until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • For the glaze, whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, salt, cinnamon, almond extract, and milk until smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag and drizzle over cake; let set before serving.
