2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup almonds or 3/4 cup walnuts, finely ground
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 pint fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries and blackberries or black raspberries)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease 2 6-cup oversize (Texas) muffin tins with softened butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and fluffy cakes, make sure to use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the batter.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also use two 9-inch round cake pans. Just bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • To make a glaze, simply whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled cake before serving.

Conclusion:

These black raspberry almond birthday cakes are a delicious and festive way to celebrate any special occasion. With their moist and fluffy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and sweet and tangy black raspberry filling, these cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone.
