Hey everyone! I just had to share this Poppy Seed Almond Cake recipe I’ve been making for ages. It’s super light, not too sweet, and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Plus, the almond flavor with the crunch of poppy seeds is chef’s kiss! Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour (gives it a lovely texture!)
- 3 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (so good!)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, but makes it look so pretty)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch cake pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and then the almond extract.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool, then dust with powdered sugar if you want that little extra touch!
