Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs + yolk
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare an 8 or 9-inch springform pan by buttering and lightly flouring it. Don’t forget to line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal!
  • Whisk together the wet ingredients in a medium bowl or measuring cup: large eggs, egg yolk, buttermilk, sour cream, canola oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  • Mix the dry ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Combine all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda on low speed until well blended.
  • Add the unsalted butter, one piece at a time, mixing until the texture resembles coarse sand.
  • Pour in half of the wet ingredients while mixing at medium speed until everything is just combined.
  • Incorporate the remaining wet ingredients, mixing until barely combined.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl again and fold in the fresh raspberries gently.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared springform pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and gently tap the pan to release air bubbles.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for about 20 minutes before releasing from the springform.
  • Serve it warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure you butter your springform pan thoroughly and line it with parchment.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  • When substituting berries, opt for smaller pieces of strawberries if used.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Don't skip the granulated sugar sprinkle on top before baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.
