The Sweet Beginnings#

Hey there, sweet-tooth comrades! So, I was chilling with my sister the other day, and she goes, 'Why don't we bake something that'll tickle those taste buds?' And I'm like, 'Say no more!' Thus, our quest for the ultimate Raspberry Almond Cake began. Let me tell ya, this cake isn't just a treat; it's a one-way ticket to flavour town with a capital F. 🍰

Now, folks might say, 'A cake? That's just flour, sugar, and eggs, right?' Oh, but they couldn't be more off the mark. This cake, my friends, is where the art of baking meets the heart of creativity. And if you're nodding your head in agreement, you're in for a wild ride. So, buckle up, buttercups!

Why Raspberry Almond Combo#

Now, you might wonder, 'Out of all the flavors in the world, why raspberry and almond?' Well, let me enlighten ya! Raspberries have that perfect zing, like a high five to your taste buds, while almonds bring in a nutty charm that's as comforting as your grandma's hugs. 🥜

The Dynamic Duo

They're like the Batman and Robin of flavors, an unstoppable team that brings out the best in each other. So, when you're biting into that moist, berry-studded slice with just a hint of almond crunch, you'll know you've made the right choice.

Gathering The Ingredients#

Heavenly Raspberry Almond Delight Ingredients

01 190g all-purpose flour (1 ⅓ cups).

02 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder.

03 ½ teaspoon salt.

04 84g unsalted butter, softened (6 tablespoons).

05 150g granulated sugar (¾ cup).

06 30ml sunflower oil (2 tablespoons).

07 5ml pure vanilla extract (1 teaspoon).

08 ½ teaspoon almond extract.

09 2 large eggs.

10 150ml full fat yogurt (⅔ cup).

11 50g almond flour (½ cup).

12 140g fresh raspberries (1 ¼ cups).

13 40g flaked almonds (½ cup).

14 25g coarse sugar (2 tablespoons).

Heavenly Raspberry Almond Delight Step By Step

Step 01

Kick things off by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F, and line that round 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper so nothing sticks.

Step 02

Sift your flour and baking powder together, then invite the almond flour and salt to the party, giving it all a good whisk to mix and untangle any pesky almond flour clumps.

Step 03

Grab a large bowl and toss in the butter, sugar, oil, and both extracts and beat them up with an electric mixer until they look all pale and fluffy. Throw the eggs into the mix one at a time, giving them a good beating after each entrance, then stir in the yogurt like it's going out of fashion.

Step 04

Introduce the flour mixture and almond flour into the large bowl, folding them in gently – treat it with kid gloves, we're not looking for a heavyweight boxing match here. Fold in most of the raspberries, too, but save a few to make the top of your cake look pretty.

Step 05

Shimmy the batter into the pan, gently poking the remaining raspberries on top like little red jewels. Shower the cake with flaked almonds and give it a sugar sprinkle. Bake it for 35-45 minutes, let it cool on a wire rack, and serve it warm to hear the angels sing.
