Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds on top for a decorative touch and a bit of crunch.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice and serve your Almond Flour Pound Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
