Top Tips for the Ultimate Cake
For ultimate results, use measuring cups and spoons designed for dry and liquid ingredients, especially when baking a cake.
Allow eggs to come to room temperature before incorporating them into the batter so they blend easier to create a smoother more cohesive batter.
When creaming eggs and sugar, beat them until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is essential to create air pockets in the batter for a tender moist crumb.
Slowly add the dry mixture and fold it into the wet mixture. This way you will not get a dense texture usually caused by overmixing.
For best baking results, preheat the oven and keep the same temperature the whole time. Place the cake on the center rack and keep a close eye so it does not overbake or burn. Do not open the oven while baking because the temperature may fluctuate and affect the overall texture of the cake.

I would think gluten free flour can substitute all purpose flour to make it GF cake … would you try it that way?!
Hi! You can definitely try
AssalaamuAlaikum. What can I use instead of almond flour ? Can I substitute it for normal flour ?
salam, you can try. consistency might be off because almond flour tends to be more dry.
Fatima, what is Neutral oil?
Like mazola, canola, avocado oil
I made it this weekend and what a hit was it in my household!!! Everyone from elderly to younger ones thoroughly enjoyed it !! Thankyou so much for this recipe !! Genuinely appreciate what you do !!
Hi! I’ve just baked the cake but haven’t tasted it yet. I think I might have overbaked it. Is it supposed to be still jiggly when you take it out of the oven?
Hi! as long as the test skewer comes out clean, it should be fine
I made this today and Ist absolutely lush! It’s so
Moist and soft, will definitely be making this again. Absolutely loved it ❤️
Beautiful, fragrant and delicious cake.
Hello! Is it 2 teaspoons vanilla OR 1 teaspoon almond extract? Do you recommend one over the other?
I prefer almond! but vanilla if you cant find it
I have made this cake twice now in a matter of a couple weeks, it is fluffy and delicious. I even added a small amount of desiccated coconut and it turned out perfectly! Wonderful, forgiving recipe. Thank you!
Do you sift the almond flour at all?
If you use a good quality almond flour, theres no need
How about high altitude adjustments?
increase baking temp by about 15-20 degrees, and bake for a little less time, could be from 5-10 mins, just check the center with a toothpick
is it really 1 whole cup of avaocado oil?
1 cup any neutral oil. Avocado, canola, mazola.
