Easy One-Bowl Almond Cake

Recipes

If you are like me and love tea, you inevitably want something to nibble on when you are sipping your mug of tea. In my case, since the Rae Dunn mugs I love so dearly are HUGE (almost 16 oz’s of tea), I need something light and delicious as a snack. Hello, almond cake! I first had a version of this at Ikea and immediately fell in love. It was light, but creamy and had my favourite topping – almonds! Literally, I will eat almond anything. But the one thing I didn’t love so much was the cream, which also makes for a calorie-full snack. So I found a recipe on Pinterest and made it my own using ingredient that are a pantry staple in our home. And let’s just say since I made this, it’s been on repeat for almost three months!

This easy cake is a one bowl recipe

The one thing I absolutely love about this easy almond cake is that it comes together in one bowl. If you don’t have a stand mixer or the idea of baking intimidates you because of all the clean up – this cake is for you my friend!

This almond cake is perfect to have with your afternoon chai or coffee

Oh yes… if you are a huge tea lover like me or a coffee lover, this almond cake is the perfect snack for you to have for that mid afternoon pick me up. I mean I love a good coffee shop snack, so why not make them at home right? Here are also some more ideas for you for a coffee shop snack in case you were looking for more!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 cup unsalted butter – melted in the microwave

  • 4 eggs at room temperature

  • 4-5tablespoons slivered almonds

  • 1-2 tablespoon coarse turbinado sugar (available at bulk barn or any grocery store)

Directions

  • Pre heat oven to 350F
  • Beat the butter and sugar well for 1-2 minutes
  • Add in the eggs one at a time mixing for 1 minute between each addition
  • Next, add in the vanilla extract and almond extract and mix for 30 seconds until well incorporated
  • Add in the flour and cardamom powder and fold this in with a spatula until incorporated. The batter is a thick consistency as the cake has a cake/biscotti texture
  • Spread the batter in an even layer in a 9 inch round baking pan lined with parchment paper. This cake does not rise so if you want a higher cake, use a smaller pan
  • Sprinkle slivered almonds generously on top and garnish with the coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when insertes
  • Broil under the broiler for 1-2 minute to have the sugar caramelize and almond turn a nice golden brown. Be careful not to burn the almonds.
  • Serve with a warm cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you are allergic to almonds, you can swap the nuts for pistachios or omit entirely as well.
  • you can replace the turbinado sugar with gurr or musti if you use those at home.

And that is all my friends.. this cake is honestly a family favourite and comes together easily in one bowl. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a regular mixing bowl and mix using a spatula. I have done this both ways and this easy almond cake does not disappoint!

I hope you will try this recipe out and let me know in the comments and share with me on Instagram.

Hugs!
