I needed to use up some of the berries I froze last summer so I changed up my favorite sour cream cake recipe to come up with this barely-sweet cake with a whiff of almond flavor. It's great with a cup of tea or coffee. Feel free to increase the amount of sugar for a sweeter cake.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups mixed frozen berries
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream, almond extract, and vanilla extract until batter is smooth.
  • Stir all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, cardamom, and salt together in a bowl. Add to the batter; mix on low speed just until combined.
  • Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Scatter berries on top. Sprinkle sliced almonds and turbinado sugar over berries.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan; serve warm or at room temperature.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think it could have used more butter or oil.
