How to prepare Gluten-free apple and blackberry cake
To prepare the gluten-free apple and blackberry cake, start by cleaning the apples. Cut them into quarters, remove the core 1, and peel them 2. Then slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch, and gradually place them in a bowl 3. You will get 7 oz.
Sprinkle with cane sugar 4, mix, and set aside 5. Meanwhile, work on the batter: pour the egg and honey into a bowl 6.
Turn on the mixer and let the egg whip slightly, then add the almond flour in sequence 7, followed by the milk 8 and the rice flour 9.
Finally, add the baking powder, and when it's incorporated, turn off the mixer 10. Add the apples to the mixture 11 and gently combine everything 12.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch mold and carefully level the surface with a spatula 13. Then place the blackberries in the empty spaces 14 and proceed to baking 15.
