Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the cake:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • For the almond cream frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings:
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds (toasted or plain)
  • Whole almonds (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pans before removing.
  8. To make the frosting, beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, almond extract, salt, and heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Frost the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the outside of the cake.
  10. Press sliced almonds along the sides and decorate the top with whole almonds.

Notes

  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the sliced almonds before applying them to the cake.
  • Ensure cake is fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
