Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Optional:

  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond and vanilla extracts.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the batter, and bake for 35–40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • This cake pairs wonderfully with fresh berries or whipped cream.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
