Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
5 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 to 3 teaspoons almond extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup bundt pan. Set aside.
  • Use a mixer to cream the butter and sugar together for about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  • Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, and mix well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
  • Add the dry ingredients and the milk to the mixture, alternately. Start with 1/3 of the dry, then half the milk, another 1/3 of the dry, the other 1/2 of the milk, then the remaining dry. Mix well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
  • Add the vanilla and almond extracts. For lots of almond flavor, add 3 teaspoons. For less, only add 2. Mix to combine.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Bake times may vary. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then place a plate or platter over the pan and invert to turn the cake out onto the plate. Allow to cool completely.
  • To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cooled pound cake and sprinkle the almonds over the top.

ALMOND POUND CAKE



Almond Pound Cake image

Very rich! One of my favourite cakes. This is good dressed up with frosting, served plain, or with fruit. I quadrupled this recipe, and baked it in two 9"x13" pans to make a cake for my father's 65th birthday party. Note: be sure the almonds are finely ground; if they seem somewhat coarse you should run them through the food processor until quite fine.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake to bake evenly and prevent curdling.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before measuring it. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
