Viking Almond Apple Cake Recipe #DreamworksDragons

 By now, you’ve seen DreamWorks Dragons: Race to the Edge on Netflix. If you’re like us, you may have watched the first thirteen episodes all the way through, and have started over again. With a long weekend coming up, it’s a great time to have your own Dragon’s party! Gather the kids together, make some Dragon Fire Cupcakes, some Marshmallow dragon’s teeth, some Dragon’s snot and even a home made Vikings hat! But the adult guests may not want the super sugary sweet treats. So I started looking around for Viking recipes, and stumbled on one for an almond apple cake. It only had a few ingredients, was naturally gluten free, and looked easy enough. But it immediately fell apart and the recipe was lacking (a lot) of something. So I played with it – so this is more of a Viking inspired cake – it’s still gluten free, not overly sweet and would be great with coffee, a scoop of ice cream or fresh berries!

Ingredients: 

• 3/4 cup White Rice Flour
• 3/4 cup Ground Almond Meal
• 1 cup Tapioca Starch
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 3/4 cup Olive Oil
• 3 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 3 cups Apples chopped (2 large apples worked great)

Topping Crumble: 

• 5 tbsp Sugar
• 5 tbsp Almond Meal
• t tbsp Butter softened
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease and flour the inside of a 9 inch spring form pan. Use white rice flour for the dusting.
2. In your mixing bowl, add in your flours and sugar first. Add in the milk and eggs on top and mix on low until the mixture starts to come together. Add in your vanilla, olive oil, baking powder and baking soda and mix until everything is combined.
3. Core and peel your apples, and chop them into small pieces. Add them to your prepared batter. Mix together by hand.
4. In a small bowl, combine your topping ingredients with a fork. Sprinkle on top of you batter.
5. Bake for an hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and a half, or until a tester comes out clean.
