Hazelnut Apple Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup ground hazelnuts (see instructions)
3 cups thickly sliced apples (tart, or mix of tart and sweet)
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground anise
1 tablespoon velvet falernum (or rum)
Vanilla Ginger Buttercream Icing
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 stick salted butter
4 tablespoons milk or almond milk
1 teaspoon ginger pulp (see instructions)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
If you are grinding your own hazelnuts, boil them first and then rub off the skins before grinding them. That will remove much of the bitterness. I find that if you break the kernel in half the skin comes off more easily. Finely grind them in a food processor until you have a yield of one cup.
2
Butter and flour a 9-inch tube ban, and heat oven to 350.
3
Mix together flour, ground hazelnuts, salt, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and anise.
4
In a second bowl, beat together the oil and sugar for 5 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until the mixture is creamy. Stir in velvet falernum.
5
Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix together well. Add apples and coconut, and stir until evenly distributed.
6
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7
Grate ginger using finest side of a box grater. You'll essentially get pulp - when you have 1 tsp of pulp, you have enough.
8
Cream butter in a bowl, then add in powdered sugar and mix until no lumps remain.
9
Add vanilla extract, ginger pulp, and milk or almond milk.
10
When cake is cool, pour icing around the top.
