Description

This Almond Nut Cake Recipe features a moist, fluffy crumb and rich almond flavor, perfect for any occasion. With a mix of almond and vanilla extracts, it’s topped with crunchy almonds or chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or regular milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer for 3–5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in chopped almonds or chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before serving or decorating.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing for a light and fluffy cake. Fresh almonds enhance the flavor and texture. Let the cake cool before adding any frosting or glaze.
