Almond Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup (100 g) almond flour

1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

1 cup (200 g) sugar

1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened

3 large eggs

1/2 cup (120 ml) milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for stronger flavor)

2 teaspoons baking powder

A pinch of salt

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a round 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan.

Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cream the butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Optional Toppings:

Sliced almonds on top before baking for extra crunch.

A drizzle of honey or almond glaze after baking.
