Description

This buttery almond pound cake is perfect for any occasion, offering a golden crust with a soft, tender center.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • ½ cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1½ cup All Purpose Flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Blanched Almond Slices (and extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the yogurt and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt over the wet ingredients.
  5. Add the sliced almonds to the flour mixture and gently fold them into the batter until just combined.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
  7. Use a lightly oiled paring knife to make a ½-inch deep score down the center of the loaf lengthwise. Sprinkle with additional almond slices on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
