Almond Cake: Step-by-step instructions

  • Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180 °C (top and bottom heat). Briefly mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Step 2: Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and vanilla extract, then briefly fold in the flour mixture one spoonful at a time on low speed.
  • Step 3: Spread the dough on the baking sheet and pre-bake for 12–15 minutes.
  • Step 4: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan. Add the sugar and let it simmer gently while stirring until it has completely dissolved. Then stir in the almonds and milk.
  • Step 5: Spread the warm almond mixture over the pre-baked crust and bake for another 12–15 minutes. (Tip: Move the pan to the top rack for the last 3 minutes to achieve a nice golden-brown color.)

FAQ About the Recipe

  • How long does the almond cake keep?
    If it’s well covered or stored in an airtight container, the cake will stay wonderfully moist and fresh at room temperature for about 3 to 4 days.
  • Can you prepare the cake in advance or freeze it?
    Yes, absolutely! You can easily bake the cake the day before. To freeze it, it’s best to cut it into individual portions and pack them in airtight containers. Once thawed, it tastes just like it was freshly baked.
  • Why does the dough need to be pre-baked?
    The brief pre-baking gives the dough a slightly firm surface. This prevents the heavy almond-butter topping from sinking into the dough when spread, ensuring that the crust bakes all the way through and doesn’t end up soggy.
