Delicious Almond Cake Recipe - Perfect American Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Sifting the flour can help achieve a lighter cake.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for better incorporation.
  4. Add Eggs and Extracts

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in vanilla and almond extracts.

    Mix until just blended to avoid overmixing.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth.

    Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.
  6. Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check for doneness a few minutes before the minimum time.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve with whipped cream or fresh fruit for added flavor.
