Ingredients
Scale
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup sliced almonds
Cake:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Topping: Pour melted butter into the bottom of the pan and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar. Arrange raspberries over the sugar and scatter sliced almonds on top.
- Mix the Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in almond and vanilla extracts.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet in three parts, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter over the raspberry-almond layer and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Peel off the parchment and allow to cool before slicing.
