Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup almonds
60g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup sour cream
230g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1 tbsp milk (1% fat)
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar to the butter and mix well until it is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Add Sour Cream and Milk:
- Mix in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Add the milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
4. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and finely ground almonds.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Combine and Pour:
- Once the batter is well-mixed and smooth, pour it into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake the Cake:
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the cake with additional powdered sugar if desired, or decorate as preferred.
8. Enjoy:
- Slice and serve your Cake with a cup of tea or coffee, or enjoy it as a standalone dessert.

Tips:

- Make sure to bring the butter to room temperature before you begin, as this will make it easier to cream with the sugar.

- Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to stiff peaks before folding them into the batter for added lightness.

- Toast the almonds lightly before grinding them to enhance their flavor.

- Use a combination of both all-purpose and self-raising flour for the perfect cake rise and texture.

- Fold the sour cream into the batter gently to maintain its creamy consistency.

- Sift the powdered sugar to avoid any lumps in the cake mix.

- Grease and flour your cake pans well to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.

- Bake the cake at a consistent temperature and avoid opening the oven door frequently to prevent it from dropping.

With a bit of patience and attention to detail, you can create a stunning and delicious cake that will impress your family and guests. Remember to let the cake cool completely before serving to ensure it holds its shape and texture. Enjoy your beautifully baked cake!
