Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 cup maple syrup
230g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
2 tbsp ginger
30g
1 tsp spice mix
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/3 cup almonds
40g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
2 tbsp powdered sugar
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Streusel Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp brown sugar. Set this mixture aside.
3. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together both types of flour (self-raising and all-purpose), 2 tbsp ginger, 1 tsp spice mix, and 1 tsp baking soda. Ensure that these dry ingredients are well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the 2 eggs. Then add the 1 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 tbsp melted butter. Mix until these wet ingredients are well integrated.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Assemble in the Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Evenly sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of the batter.
- Finally, sprinkle the prepared cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over the almonds.
5. 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.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Whipped Cream:
- While the cake is cooling, take a cold mixing bowl and add the 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 2 tbsp powdered sugar.
- With a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
7. Serve:
- Once the cake has completely cooled, slice it into desired pieces.
- Serve each slice with a generous dollop of the prepared whipped cream.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing, especially the butter and eggs. This will help them incorporate better and result in a smoother batter.

- Use freshly grated ginger for a more intense and fresh flavor. Powdered ginger can be used as a substitute, but it won't have the same zest.

- When making the streusel topping, use cold butter and work quickly to avoid melting, ensuring a crumbly texture.

- Don't overmix the batter once you add the flour. Overmixing can result in a dense cake. Mix just until combined.

- Toast the almonds lightly before using them. This will bring out their natural oils and enhance their flavor and crunch.

This Spiced Almond Streusel Dessert Cake will surely become a favorite for those who enjoy a combination of spice and sweetness. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream on the side, and your guests are bound to be impressed. Enjoy this delightful treat during any time of the year, and savor the warm, inviting flavors.
