Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, grated almond paste, and melted butter. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step
6 mins

Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. After all eggs are added, increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until the batter is light and airy. (6 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures a light and even texture in the final cake. (3 minutes)

05

Step
4 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake. (4 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Pour approximately 2 1/4 cups of the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly to the edges. (2 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Gently arrange the fresh blueberries and raspberries atop the batter layer. Then, carefully spoon the remaining batter over the berries, covering them completely. (5 minutes)

08

Step
1 mins

Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter. (1 minute)

09

Step
55 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil. (55 minutes)

10

Step
15 mins

Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. This helps the cake to set and prevents it from cracking. (15 minutes)

11

Step
2 mins

After 15 minutes, gently slide a thin knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Then, carefully release the springform circle. (2 minutes)

12

Step
1 mins

Dust the cake lightly with confectioners' sugar just before serving for an elegant finishing touch. (1 minute)

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
Grated almond paste blends more smoothly into the batter.
If you don't have a springform pan, a regular cake pan can be used, but make sure to grease and flour it well.
Feel free to experiment with other types of berries, such as blackberries or strawberries.
The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    I made this for a brunch with friends, and it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about how moist and flavorful it was.

  • Buck Keeling

    The cake was a little too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar slightly. Otherwise, it was perfect!

  • Candice Zemlak

    This cake was absolutely delicious! The almond flavor was subtle but present, and the berries added the perfect touch of sweetness and tartness.
