Our first recipe is a Moist Vanilla Almond Cake, a crowd-pleaser that combines the sweet, nutty flavor of almonds with a rich and moist vanilla base. Topped with a luxurious buttercream, this cake is made with a secret ingredient – instant clearjel – to ensure it stays moist and has a tender texture.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1/2 cup almond milk (or regular milk)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup ground almonds
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp salt
For the Buttercream:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3-4 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp milk or cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream by beating together the butter, powdered sugar, milk or cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
Once the cakes are completely cool, frost with the buttercream and enjoy!
