Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for whipped cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- Marzipan for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, whip the heavy cream with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream on top and decorate with marzipan if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of fruit preserves between the cake and whipped cream.
- You can also substitute half of the almond flour with coconut flour for a different texture.
