Equipment

Snowflake Cake Pan (6 cup capacity)

Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
1½ cups sugar
3 eggs large
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¾ cups flour
1½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup almonds ground
¾ cup whole milk
⅓ cup confectioner's sugar for dusting

Instructions

Place a rack in the center of your oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 20 minutes before baking your cake. Grease and flour pan and set aside.
Grind your almonds in a food processor, if not already finely ground.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time; stir in almond and vanilla extracts.
In a small bowl, stir flour, baking powder, salt, and ground almonds. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake 40 - 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then invert the cake onto a wire rack. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
