Strawberry Almond Snack Cake
The Strawberry Almond Snack Cake is a delightful dessert that combines the fresh flavors of strawberries with the nutty essence of almonds, creating a moist and fluffy cake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ cup sliced almonds (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until there are no lumps.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individual portions. Use room temperature ingredients for the best mixing. Consider using fresh strawberries for vibrant flavor.
