Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure almond extract
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoons Pure almond extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or a standard 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or a fork to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond extract, milk, and sour cream until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and half of the sliced almonds. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Spoon the remaining batter on top of the almond-sugar layer, spreading it gently to cover.
Sprinkle the remaining sliced almonds over the top of the batter.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
Drizzle the almond glaze over the cooled cake.
Slice and serve with your favorite coffee or tea. Enjoy your Almond Dream Coffee Cake!
