Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 200 grams almond flour
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 60 ml milk
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cool, top it with the fresh raspberries arranged evenly over the surface.
Dust the cake with powdered sugar just before serving for a beautiful finishing touch.
Slice and enjoy your Raspberry Topped Almond Cake!
