This is my grandmother's recipe for a traditional German 'Ottilienkuchen' - a cake made with almond flour and chocolate sprinkles. She used to bake it in a loaf pan and it was a favorite in our house.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon rum
1 pinch salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup blanched almond flour
⅓ cup chocolate sprinkles, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
  • Combine butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in rum.
  • Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and sift. Add flour mixture to the batter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix in almonds and chocolate sprinkles. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn off oven and leave cake in the warm oven for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from oven and carefully unmold onto a wire rack. Cool completely.
  • Bake till a tester comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave cake in the oven for a further 10 minutes. Gently unmold onto a wire rack and let cool.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
