Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
Begin by preparing the cake batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture for about 1 minute until it becomes creamy and smooth. -
Incorporate the Eggs:
Add the eggs to the mixture and continue mixing until well incorporated. -
Add the Dry Ingredients:
Turn off the mixer and sift in both the all-purpose flour and almond flour. Stir the ingredients together with a spatula or on a low speed with the mixer until combined. -
Add Milk:
Gradually pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth and well-blended. -
Prepare the Pan:
Grease a 22 cm (8.5-inch) round cake pan and dust it with almond flour to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula to ensure an even layer. -
Bake the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Finish the Cake:
Once baked, let the cake cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Carefully flip the cake onto a cutting board and cut it into 8 equal slices. -
Add the Final Touches:
Lightly dust the right side of each cake slice with powdered sugar. Then, on the left side of each slice, spread approximately 15g of Nutella® to create a delicious hazelnut chocolate topping. -
Decorate and Serve:
To add a refreshing touch, decorate each slice with a raspberry on the Nutella® side. Sprinkle sliced almonds on the other side to finish the cake with a crunchy texture. Serve and enjoy!
This Rustic Almond and Nutella® Cake combines the soft, nutty flavor of almond flour with the creamy indulgence of Nutella®, all while being beautifully adorned with fresh raspberries and sliced almonds.
