    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 3 large eggs

    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 2 tbsp heavy cream
    • 1 tsp almond extract
    • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the softened butter, eggs, almond extract, milk, and sour cream. Beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and creamy.

2. Bake the Cake:

  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Prepare the Almond Cream Frosting:

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed.
  • Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth and fluffy.

4. Assemble the Cake:

  • Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate.
  • Spread a generous amount of almond cream frosting over the first layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
  • Garnish with sliced almonds if desired.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Slice and serve this almond-infused cake as a beautiful dessert. Perfect for celebrations or simply to satisfy your sweet cravings!
