Almond Cream Filling

• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

For the Cake:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.

For the Almond Cream Filling:

1. Prepare Cream Filling: In a saucepan, combine the milk and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
2. Add Sugar and Extract: Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and almond extract. Let it cool completely.
3. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled almond mixture.

Assembling the Cake:

1. Cut and Fill: Once the cake is completely cooled, cut it horizontally into two layers. Spread the almond cream filling evenly over the bottom layer and place the top layer back on.
2. Garnish: Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the cake and dust generously with powdered sugar.
3. Serve: Slice and serve this delightful cake to your guests, or simply enjoy a piece with a hot cup of tea.
