Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare pan: Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside for later use.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for now.
-
Prepare batter: In a large mixing bowl, blend together 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of sour cream, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined using an electric mixer.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.
-
Prepare cream cheese filling: In a separate small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 tsp of almond extract until smooth. Set this mixture aside.
-
Bake first layer: Pour the prepared batter into the greased springform pan and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cake is partially baked.
-
Add cream cheese filling: Carefully remove the partially baked cake from the oven and spoon the prepared cream cheese filling mixture evenly over the top.
-
Continue baking: Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

Cooling: Once fully baked, allow the torte to cool completely. This step is crucial as it ensures that the whipped topping will not melt when added later.
