Almond Cake

Sharing is caring!

Everyone tells me I’m nuts to try to make my own cake, but damnit, I’m determined.  I’m trying out a few different cakes and even though I just started, this may be the winner.  Not only was this cake insanely easy to make, but it also rose perfectly.   (I get a kick out of stuff like that..seriously turn the oven light on and watch it)

Ingredients

  

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose sifted flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp double acting baking powder
• 1/4 cup butter softened
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 whole eggs room temperature
• 1/2 cup lukewarm water
• 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp almond flavoring

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 325° F. Prepare pans by using baking spray.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine flour, salt, sugar, & baking powder with a hand whisk. Add remaining ingredients and mix with the mixer on low speed. Increase speed to medium once most of the dry ingredients are moistened and mix for 2 minutes until well blended.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 325° F until the center of each cake is done. You can test by inserting a toothpick in the center- when it comes out clean, the cake is done. Bake for 25-30 minutes for the 9” pan.

Even if you’re not making a wedding cake, this would make an excellent dessert for a Summer party, especially with a big pile of berries on top.
