Categories     Cake     Berry

Yield 1 - 9" cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cake-
2 1/4 cups flour, plus more for dusting the pans
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
6 large egg whites, at room temperature
2 teaspoons almond extract (or slightly less to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but still cool
Frosting -
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but still cool
4 cups confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon whole milk
pinch table salt
extra sliced almonds for garnish
Filling -
1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam

Steps:

  • 1. Set oven rack in middle position and pre-heat to 350. 2. Spray 2 9-inch cake pans with non-stick spray, place parchment rounds on bottom of pans, spray parchment rounds, and dust whole pans with flour, tapping out excess (I used non-stick spray with flour) 3. Pour milk, egg whites, and extracts in 2-cup measure, mix with fork until blended 4. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in bowl of electric mixer at slow speed. Add butter, continue beating at slow speed until mixture resembles moist crumbs. 5. Add all but 1/2 Cup of milk mixture and beat at medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 Cup of milk mixture and beat 30 seconds more. Scrape down sides and beat another 20 seconds on medium. 6. Divide batter evenly between 2 pans, making sure batter is spread to sides and top is smooth. Arrange pans at least 3 inches apart and bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 23-25 minutes 7. Let the cakes rest 3 minutes, loosen cake from sides of pan if necessary and invert onto wire racks. Reinvert and let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hour. 8. For the Frosting: Beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, milk, and salt in bowl of electric mixer at slow speed until sugar is moistened. Increase speed to medium-high, beat, stopping twice to scrape down bowl, until creamy and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Avoid overbeating 9. For the Filling: Combine 1/2 cup of frosting with the toasted chopped almonds and spread over the first layer. Carefully spread the jam on top, then cover with second cake layer. Spread frosting over top and sides of assembled cake. If enough frosting left over, pipe around perimeter of cake at base and top. 10. Coat sides of cake with toasted sliced almonds and top cake with fresh raspberries.

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES WITH FROSTING



Almond Butter Cookies With Frosting image

Easy to make almond-butter cookies, frosting optional. The flavor is delicate and very yummy. I am a novice in the kitchen and made these one night in about 30 min on a whim. The frosting hardens quickly, but it's easy to add water and microwave 15-30 seconds to soften it up again for spreading. I found this recipe on the back of the Publix sweet cream butter (unsalted) package; the credits on the package are "Publix Apron's Simple Meals"
