White Almond Cake

A light and moist White Almond Cake made with almond flour and delicate vanilla notes, perfect for any celebration or afternoon tea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg whites one at a time until fully incorporated, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix each addition until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

For extra moistness, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. The toasted almond topping adds a delightful crunch and can be swapped with chopped pistachios for a different flavor.
