Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 70 grams Sliced almonds
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the almond extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the sliced almonds gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the cooled almond bread with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness and decoration.
