Almond Cake

This is a cake you won't be able to resist once you have that first bite. It is quite addicting. The cake is super light, moist, and perfectly sweetened with just the right amount of almond flavor.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla (Almond flavoring would be ideal here if you have some!)
• 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Plain yogurt (sour cream works too or even greek yogurt)
• 6 oz Nestle Table cream (Also known as Puck cream (ishta) in place of this you can add more yogurt or sour cream.)
• 1 cup Coarse Semolina Flour
• 1.5 cups Almond Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tbsp Tahini (you can use nonstick spray to prep the pan too)
• 3/4 cup Shaved Almonds
• 10 oz Sweetened condensed milk

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a Kitchenaid, mix together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla or almond flavoring. If you do not have a kitchenaid, just use a bowl and rubber utensil.
2. 2Then, add the oil, cream, and yogurt. Mix all together really well.
3. 3Lastly, add the dry ingredients and stir together until well mixed.
4. 4Prep the desired baking pan by brushing with tahini. This offers a nutty taste. Pour the batter into desired baking pan. I have used both a 9 by 11 pyrex baking pan and an 8 inch baking pan and they both worked great. The 8 inch baking pan made the cake a thicker cut which therefore required an extra 10 min baking time. I actually preferered it thicker too!Always keep in mind that dependent on the size of the pan, the cake can be less or more thick.
5. 5Garnish the batter entirely with the sliced almonds then bake in a 350 F oven for 25-30 minutes on the middle rack. The cake should be tender yet lightly browned all aroound.
6. 6Once out of the oven, poke holes into the cake and drizzle the condensed milk. You can also cut into the cake if it is baked in a 9 by 11 then drizzle in the milk that way. Both methods work!
7. 7Allow for the cake to completely cool before serving to avoid any crumbling! Enjoy room temperature! Store in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
