Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to ensure the cake slides out easily after baking.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is essential as it incorporates air into the batter.
  • Add Eggs and Milk: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and almond extract. Make sure everything is well combined to bring out that nutty flavor!
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of the rising agents.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the fluffy texture.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frost: If desired, frost the completely cooled cake with your favorite icing or serve it plain with a dusting of powdered sugar.
