A light and moist white almond cake with a delicate almond flavor, perfect for celebrations or an elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and almond flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  6. Stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate them.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds if using.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For extra moistness, brush the cooled cake with a simple almond syrup or serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.
