Almond Flour Pound Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. 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.

10. 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.
