👨‍🍳 How to Make Raspberry Almond Tea Cake

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).

Step 3: Add Eggs and Flavor

Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in almond and vanilla extracts.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5: Mix and Fold

Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in raspberries (reserve a few for topping).

Step 6: Bake

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Scatter remaining raspberries and sliced almonds on top. Bake for 30–38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Dust

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
