Steps:
- For almond cream filling:
- Pour half and half into medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean and bring cream to simmer. Remove from heat; cover and steep 15 minutes. Blend sugar and flour in medium bowl. Whisk in eggs, then warm half and half mixture; return to same pan. Add almond paste. Whisk over medium heat until almond paste dissolves and custard boils, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add white chocolate and butter; whisk until melted and smooth. Press plastic wrap onto custard; chill 3 hours. Remove vanilla bean. Beat cream to peaks; fold into custard in 3 additions. Cover; chill at least 6 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)

Using electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup lukewarm water into dry ingredients; beat in oil, egg yolks, both extracts, and peel. Using clean dry beaters, beat whites in medium bowl until soft peaks form.

BERRY ALMOND CAKE
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.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh berries. If using frozen berries, thaw them completely before using.
- To make sure the cake is evenly cooked, bake it in the center of the oven.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- For a lighter cake, use whipped egg whites instead of whole eggs.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
- For a moist cake, brush the top of the cake with simple syrup before frosting.
- To make the frosting ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before using.
- To decorate the cake, use fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
