Total Time: 1 hrs 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup coffee, brewed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter, ensuring all crevices are well-coated to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, ensuring complete incorporation and a smooth mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to create a uniform dry ingredient mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in chopped almonds, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the coffee glaze, whisk together brewed coffee and powdered sugar until smooth and slightly thick.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the coffee glaze over the top, allowing it to naturally cascade down the sides of the bundt cake.
- Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Optionally, sprinkle additional chopped almonds on top for extra texture.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Greasing is Key: Use a pastry brush to meticulously grease your bundt pan, paying extra attention to the intricate design to prevent sticking.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and avoid a tough texture.
- Check for Doneness: Use the toothpick test - it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs when the cake is perfectly baked.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to help it hold its shape.
- Glaze Consistency: For the perfect coffee glaze, add powdered sugar gradually and adjust liquid to achieve a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
- Make Ahead: This cake tastes even better the next day, so don't hesitate to prepare it in advance for gatherings or special occasions!
