How to Make Moist Almond Cream Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix in a large mixing bowl by combining 2 cups of almond flour, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
  3. Beat together 4 large eggs and 1 cup of sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and mix into the egg-and-sugar mixture, along with 1 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gradually until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. For the Frosting: Beat together 8 oz of cream cheese and 2 cups of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  8. Frost the cooled cake generously with the cream cheese frosting.
