Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh almond extract and high-quality almond flour. This will enhance the taste of your cake.
  • Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
  • Check for Doneness: Every oven is different. Check the cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the icing. This helps the icing set properly and keeps it from melting.
  • Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for about a week.
