Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Ensure they do not turn into almond butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the ground almonds and self-raising flour.
- Gradually add the almond and flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, you can serve it as is or dust it with powdered sugar for an added touch.
Tips:
- Make sure to grind the almonds finely to ensure a smooth texture in the cake batter.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for better incorporation and a smoother batter.
- Gently fold in the self-raising flour to maintain the cake's light and airy texture.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a denser cake.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
Your gold rush cake is now ready to be enjoyed! Its rich, almond-infused flavor and tender crumb make it an irresistible dessert. Whether you serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or simply on its own, this cake is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy!
