This recipe makes a delightful strawberry almond cake. For this, gather salted butter, olive oil (or any veggie oil), eggs, sugar, orange zest, almond and vanilla extracts, all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Don’t forget the fresh strawberries and slivered almonds. Each item brings a key taste to the table.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round pan well with butter. Line it with parchment paper to easily take the cake out later.
Next, in a bowl, cream your butter, oil, eggs, and sugar with a mixer. This makes the batter fluffy. Mix in zest and extracts for a flavorful base that will enhance the strawberries.
Now, gently blend in flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Don’t mix too much; we want a light, soft cake, not a tough one.
Then, add your stars – the strawberries. Carefully fold them in. This ensures every slice has plenty of strawberry.
Pour the batter into your pan. Smooth the top. Sprinkle on the almonds. They add great taste and a nice crispy top when baked.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and a knife comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing. Let the cake cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
After cooling, slice and enjoy your cake. It’s perfect for any time of day. Your loved ones will enjoy the blend of strawberry and almond in this rich dessert.
