Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9 inch square baking pan.

- Beat in the flour gradually until well blended. Add the baking soda, ground ginger, ground almonds and apples, mix to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 40 minutes or until the cake tests done. Let cake cool on a rack for 15 minutes before turning out of pan. Cool completely before frosting.
- Carefully slice the cake in half horizontally with a long serrated knife. Fill and frost with Apple Butter Frosting.
- To Make Apple Butter Frosting: Beat the cream cheese until soft and fluffy. Gradually beat in the apple butter and remaining 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate.

The hardest part was not tearing the cake when trying to put the two halves back together.
