Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup (25g) sliced almonds, toasted
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
  3. Using a mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract and almond extract if using.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in fresh raspberries, keeping most whole to avoid bleeding.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle toasted sliced almonds on top.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at 35 minutes.
  9. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender. Use fresh raspberries for best results; if using frozen, toss them in flour before folding in. Toast sliced almonds in a dry pan until golden and fragrant. Start checking cake doneness at 35 minutes to avoid overbaking. For vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and butter with coconut oil.
