Almond Raspberry Swirl Cake recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam (seedless, if preferred)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry jam over the batter and gently swirl with a knife.

Top with the remaining batter and smooth the top.

Sprinkle the sliced almonds and granulated sugar over the top of the cake.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
