Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
Baking
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Make sure your butter is softened for easy creaming with the sugar. Do not overmix the batter; mix just until ingredients are combined for a light cake. For a richer almond flavor, add a little more almond extract based on your preference. To store your Swedish Almond Cake, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing individual slices, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
