Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
  5. Prepare the cake pans by dividing the batter evenly and smoothing the tops.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  8. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and almond extract.
  9. Assemble by placing one layer on a plate, topping with frosting, and adding the second layer with more frosting on top and the sides.
  10. Decorate with sliced almonds or fresh berries if desired. Serve and enjoy!
