Scale
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cake flour [see NOTES 1 for substitutions]
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup butter – melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2/3 cup almond milk [see NOTES 2 for substitutions]
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- sliced almonds
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare either a specialty almond cake pan or an 8-inch round cake pan with either cooking spray or butter well and coat with flour. Then, evenly distribute sliced almonds across the bottom of the prepared pan and set aside.
- To make the batter, start by combining melted butter, sugar, eggs, almond extract, almond flour, and almond milk in a mixing bowl with a whisk, and mix thoroughly. Using a mesh strainer, sift together the cake flour and baking powder over the “wet ingredients.”
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the sliced almonds in your prepped cake pan. Conversely, you can use a cookie scoop to gently drop the batter over the almonds. Smooth out the batter, so it’s even. Place the cake pan on a sheet pan (for easy transfer) in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and a tester placed in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool the cake completely before removing it from the pan. *To prevent any cracking/breaking, you make want to cut the “hump” from the cake*
- To serve, dust the cake with Powdered Sugar and garnish with additional sliced almonds (serve slices with berries and whipped cream).
