Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) springform cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the ground cinnamon to the butter-sugar mixture. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and all-purpose white wheat flour. Stir in the ground almonds.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Add the sour cream to the batter and gently fold it in using a spatula until fully integrated.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix to avoid breaking the berries.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing the springform ring. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into slices and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature to facilitate easy creaming with the sugar.
- For a more intense almond flavor, lightly toast the almonds before incorporating them into the batter.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to prevent them from bursting and bleeding color into the batter.
- Use a selection of fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
- If preferred, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier taste.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and better texture.
With its rustic charm and rich flavor, this blueberry and almond cake is an absolute crowd-pleaser. The moist, tender crumb paired with the burst of blueberries and the crunch of almonds creates an unforgettable dessert experience. Enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee for a truly delightful treat.
