Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 5 egg room temperature, white
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- ¾ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 2 Tablespoons almond extract
- 1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups cake flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For the frosting:
- 1 cup almonds sliced
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup amaretto liquor
- 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- To prepare cake, grease and flour two 9 inch cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper (cut circles to fit). Set aside.
- In small bowl, mix egg whites and 1/4 cup buttermilk. Set aside.
- In mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in almond extract. Add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Slowly add in egg white mixture.
- Beat in remaining buttermilk for 1-2 minutes until fluffy.
- Pour evenly into cake pans. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 25-28 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Remove and cool in cake pans 5 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
- Heat a small skillet over medium high heat. add sliced almonds and toast them for about 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese for 3 minutes until creamy and combined. Add Amaretto liquor and powdered sugar. Beat an additional 4-5 minutes until frosting is light and fluffy.
- To assemble, place one cooled cake on a cake plate. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top. Add the second cake layer. I like the frost the sides of the cake first, then the top.
- Press the cooled, toasted almonds into the sides, or arrange as desired. ENJOY.
Notes
- Toast your almonds. It only takes a couple of minutes on the stove to draw even more robust flavor from the sliced nuts. Check out this guide on How to Toast Nuts for more tips!
- Buttermilk substitute. My recipe for homemade buttermilk works just as well as the store bought version in this amaretto cake recipe.
- Frost the sides first. I find this gives the cake a smoother, neater appearance than starting at the top and working my way down.
