Ingredients

  • 1¾  cups almond flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup softened unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Toast the almonds at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, then let cool. Grind finely if not using pre-made almond flour.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the almond extract and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan (or line with parchment paper).
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
